Winton Evers is leading the change with "EcoProfit". An organization that is showing the way for us to go carbon neutral.

I will call Deb Dare a 'Socially Active Activist'.  Deb has been a activist since the 1980's.

Yet here 40 years later Deb Dare is still a voice to be reckoned with.

Your ecological footprint may be larger than you think – but how can you live a low carbon lifestyle?  Reduce, reuse, recycle – Sounds like a great 'catch phrase' for having a low carbon home.

We talk to Annabel Murray about the work being done by business owners in the Blue Mountains to become "Low Carbon Businesses", and how we as individuals can better understand our own Carbon Footprint.
