Days of Change - a Carbon Calculating and Money-Saving Project originated by Rotary Club of Perth.
Australia has one of the largest ecological footprints on the planet, which caused the Western Australian Perth Club to create this ambitious project to encourage Rotarians, businesses and the general public to reduce their use of carbon-based products. The cornerstone of www.DaysOfChange.org is a range of Pledge Cards from which individuals can select actions they are prepared to undertake in their homes, schools and workplaces. The cards show what the annual (Australian dollar) savings will be from each pledged action. Pledge Cards for homes, workplaces and schools can be downloaded from the website.

This is a huge project covering the whole of Western Australia that offers good ideas for Clubs. Over 40,000 people had joined the project by mid-2010. Cutting our carbon emissions is vital and this project is one of the best to show how it can be done.

Days of Change is at www.DaysOfChange.org

Remember that, if you want to offset your unavoidable carbon emissions (such as an airline flight), you can neutralise them through a Rotary Club project supported by The Sustainability Trust. Go to the Calculate Now section at the top of this page.
