It pays to be
more Energy
Efficient
|
Australia has one of the highest per capita outputs of carbon dioxide in the world.
The average household directly outputs about 14 tonnes of CO2
each year, 8 tonnes of which is the in-home use of coal-fired electricity (the rest
is mostly car transport, other energy and household garbage)
As a fact of life, the environmental cost of carbon will be factored in to everything
we use, so it pays to be more energy aware.
The Wattwatchers Community
The Wattwatchers Community is all about providing the information and understandings
of what we can do to be more energy efficient. There's a whole new world of Government
incentives, energy retail plans, new technologies, renewable energy, building materials
and energy-efficient products on its way, which makes it difficult for most householders
to evaluate. The Wattwatcher Community is being designed to provide the facts and
learn from each other through forums, blogs, references and research.
Say G'day to Watto
Watto is a very important part of the Wattwatcher Community, especially to get the
kids involved. He's a friendly little character, but don't let his size fool you.
He's very knowledgeable when it comes to energy-efficiency - and clicking his button
will send him off into the ether to find the answers you need.

Join the Wattwatchers WebPoll now to make a difference
Very little research has been conducted into what households
know about their use of energy or how to save it, or its relationship with our environment.
By registering with the Wattwatchers WebPoll, we
are asking you to join other households to participate anonymously in regular on-line
surveys, and share your views on household and community concerns specific to energy
savings, energy efficiency and carbon reduction.
Your answers and opinions will help everyone to understand these issues. Results
of these polls will be tabulated, published and sent to opinion leaders and decision-makers
in government, business and the community sectors in order to help shape public
policy. Your identity will remain anonymous, and you will be sent a copy of all
the poll results on-line.
If contributing to a poll isn't 'you', please pass this on to someone in your family
who may want to participate, or friends who may be interested.
