Green Your Home: A practical guide to help you make small climate-conscious actions

Our Green Your Home Guide is designed to help residents take simple, everyday steps to contribute to a healthier environment and help combat climate change. 

The guide offers practical advice and tips for making small changes that collectively make a big difference.

From reducing waste and conserving energy to choosing sustainable transport and supporting biodiversity, the guide highlights how everyone can play a part.

The Green Your Home Guide is being rolled out as part our Climate Change Action Plan 2025-2029.

Councillor Liz Frost, Chair of the Environment Committee, said:

“This guide is about showing people they don’t need to make radical changes to their lives to make a difference. Simple, ongoing changes—whether building on existing efforts or starting something new—can have a meaningful, long-term impact. From making homes more energy efficient, to planning wildlife-friendly gardens, and investing in systems that reduce reliance on fossil fuels, every step counts. We want residents to feel confident and motivated to take action, and we hope the guide supports their decision-making along the way."
