In today's news, the UN reported that last year was the fourth warmest on record. We would like to hear what our Cafestudy members are doing to help slow down climate change. Have you changed your habits recently? Or maybe you are meaning to but haven't got round to it yet? Please let us know!

It is very hard for the average person to do much about climate change. I always try to make sure I think about the enviroment in my daily life. I try to recycle things and save on the use water and power. I grow my own vegetables and compost all vegetable waste so our garbage bin very rarely has more than one bag of rubbish in it that goes to land fill. I share any excess vegetables I grow with family and friends. I try to cool the house down by opening windows and doors in the early morning and keep curtains shut during the heat of the day to save on the use of air conditioning. It is hard to do much more when the temperature climbs to the high temperatures we have had in Melbourne this summer but I try to do my bit!
