1. DEFINITION: Carbon reduction

Carbon_reductionCarbon reduction refers to individuals and/or organizations who decide to take measures to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions in an environmental conservation purpose and to save money as energy prices across the world keep on rising.


There are many ways to contribute to carbon reduction. For example, limiting energy consumption and emissions from energy intensive processes and using renewable energies as much as possible.


The Carbon Pollution Reduction scheme is the first Australian emission trading system due to be introduced by 2011 as part of the Government’s climate change policy. It will act as an incentive to help individuals and organizations to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions by 5% by 2020, which represents a significant cut of around 27% on a per capita basis, and by 60% by 2050.
