You may wonder what we mean when we say ‘energy’ and how much we need to keep life going.
Electricity generation accounts for 27 per cent of worldwide greenhouse gas emissions.
You measure energy through its transference in watts.

💡A watt is a pretty small unit of measurement, so remember these terms for larger amounts:
A kilowatt is 1,000 watts
A megawatt is one million watts
A gigawatt is one billion watts

As we're all well-aware, climate change is a dense, controversial topic.
But as part of our #Just1Change campaign ahead of the #Cop26, we're here to help break it down into something simple, readable and digestible.
And today, we're talking renewable energy 🌳

Renewable energy, simply put, is naturally-occurring forms of energy that we can use to power our lifestyle in a way that doesn’t include harmful side-effects ♻
In 2019, renewable energy accounted for around 11% of worldwide energy production.
But In our efforts to get to net zero, that percentage needs to increase dramatically.

We all know the importance of recycling but knowing what you can and can’t recycle is sometimes confusing.
As part of our #Just1Change campaign, we are on the case to make it easier.
Here are the most common recycled items that aren’t actually recyclable 🧵👇

Bin bags
❌ They are a big no for recycling bins.
And never send your recycling in black bin bags as it won’t be emptied out. The whole bag will be tossed, including those items that could have been recycled.

Net zero is often hotly debated but what does it actually mean?

The UK government – along with other nations, is pledging to be “netzero” by 2050 and will likely be a key topic of debate at the upcoming COP26 conference 🗣️
This pledge has been protected by law.
Climate Change Act 2008 committed the UK to an 80% reduction in carbon emissions relative to the levels in 1990, to be achieved by 2050 🧑⚖️
