What can we do to do our part in lowering greenhouse emissions? What can we do and what can the government do to lower the amounts of emissions?

For me:
Walk / ride to work at least once every week; can ride every day but too unfit!
Eat kangaroo meat instead of beef / lamb as no land clearing is needed and more drought tolerable.
Install fluro globes or LED lighting
Close curtains and blinds to prevents heat getting in during summer= less need on a/cond. Install insulation to roof and whirly extraction fan on roof.
The government;
More expensive rego for big cylinder cars and 4WD%26#039;s
Cheaper car park rates for cars with more than 3 people sharing ride.
A good percentage off water rates for people with rainwater tanks.
All new houses to have solar hotwater, double glazed nth facing windows.

Many more ideas. What do you people think?

At work ( I work at car plant):
Employee someone to turn off all lights, fans and other machines that can be turned off. [every night all the lights are left on, as well as fans and evap coolers throughout the whole plant]
Start a joint employee / employer enviro committee to find out ways to reduce wastage. -the packaging components come in just goes into bin, should be divided up into plastic / paper /cardboard / foam /etc.

It is a site that focuses on wiser ways of life...

Hope its helpful.
