Climate change is perhaps the most important issue facing the world today. A Lighter Footprint compiles the latest research, statistics and information specifically for Australians on how to minimise our impact on the environment and counteract climate change.

A Lighter Footprint uses a tool called the ecological footprint to estimate the resources an individual consumes compared with the amount that nature can sustain. It debunks the myth that green living is not for everyone by detailing simple, practical, day-to-day actions that all Australians can take to reduce not only the costs to the environment but also to our wallets.
