Guardian Tread Lightly

Ecologically minded Kiwis looking for a place to network with like-minded individuals and organisations log into Be The Change where an exchange of eco ideas is encouraged as part of New Zealanders' commitment to combating climate change.

In a similar vein The Guardian has launched its Tread Lightly campaign encouraging UK readers to lighten our environmental footprint and make a valid difference in reducing UK CO2 emissions. As with Be The Change, Tread Lightly members can make pledges to fulfil a variety of actions, taking small steps towards making a big positive change.

Whilst each individual change alone may struggle to make a huge global difference, the weekly reminder is a great way to keep our own carbon footprints at the top end of our priority lists. Hopefully, as we get into the habit of making small changes on a regular basis and discover how easy it is to live sustainably and what difference our changes can make, we will be encouraged to campaign for change on a larger scale.

This week's pledge: "Eat less Meat - I pledge to swap one meat-based meal, made with mostly imported ingredients, for a vegetarian meal, made with local ingredients, this week."
