Help reduce your carbon footprint
The Queensland Government has introduced the ClimateSmart Home Service. It's designed to help Queenslanders contribute to addressing climate change by reducing their carbon foot print.
For just $50 you can save up to $325 a year off your electricity bill and also save a total of up to 20.4 tonnes of greenhouse gases. That's equivalent to taking almost five cars off the road for a full year.
