Take the quiz

How are your choices relating to transport, energy use and waste disposal affecting the climate?
> Take the general or business quiz!

'Play it Cool' is a fun activity which will help you find out more about reducing greenhouse gas emissions and the effects of climate change.

Tips & hints
45% of the average rubbish bag put out for collection could be composted. This means more of the greenhouse gas methane is produced in our landfills - the larger the piles of organic waste, the more methane is released. Compost all kitchen scraps and grass clippings in your own garden - this will reduce methane emissions and your garden will love you!

Max says "Way to go Dad!

We should try to walk, ride a bike or take public transport on those shorter trips. These forms of transport put less carbon dioxide into the atmosphere than cars and save money on petrol!"

Did you know?

One third of all New Zealand car trips are less than a kilometre. Talk about lazy!

More cool ideas

  • Cut out that drive to school. Walk, catch the bus, or join a walking school bus.
  • If you have to go in the car, try and pick up friends on the same route.
