Our Big Switch – switch and be a local hero for zero!

We’re helping homes, schools and businesses make big switches to save money and transition to net zero by 2030.

Which switches help you reach net zero fast?

Australian households produce around 18 tonnes of greenhouse gas a year. Here are 5 key ways to reach net zero. Download our Guide for more solutions, and more details on emissions reduced and tree planting impact equivalent.

  1. Switching your superannuation, banking and investments = reduces approx 12 tonnes per year
  2. Switching to renewable energy = reduces approx 8 tonnes per year
  3. Installing rooftop solar on your house, strata and business = reduces 5 to 10 tonnes per home per year
  4. Switch to efficient electric appliances to reduce energy use as part of being a net zero home
    – Energy efficient heating & cooling reduces approx 3.5 tonnes per year
    – Energy efficient hot water reduces approx 2.5 tonnes per year
    – Insulation reduces 0.5 to 1 tonnes per year
  5. Switching to an electric car or an electric bike = reduces approx 3 T tonnes per year

We can also help your local businesses to get solar and your local school to be a net zero school!

Do my actions and conversations make a difference?

Yes, switching to low carbon solutions and talking about climate solutions are things we can all do for a safer climate. Research shows climate conversations with friends and family make a difference, and research shows people are considerably more likely to make low carbon switches if they know other people who are taking action.
