What can we do?
- Reduce, reuse and recycle your waste. Recycle for Greater Manchester has some great tips for residents and businesses on how to cut down on unnecessary waste at home and in the workplace.
- Only buy what you need – in the home or at work.
- Choose greener travel options where possible, such as walking, cycling or using public transport.
- If you have to use a car why not consider car sharing or, if you can afford it, consider upgrading to low emission, hybrid and electric vehicles. You can even use Salford’s green Co-Wheels scheme for low cost, low emission travel.
- Make more use of Salford’s fantastic parks and open spaces or why not join a local Friends Group and organise a local litter pick.
- Only use environmentally friendly products at home or the workplace. If you are a business, make sure you only work with suppliers who adopt good environmental practices and policies.
- Reduce your energy use. Salford City Council provides lots of useful information on becoming more energy efficient including tips for households and business.
