Water is precious. Turn off the tap when brushing your teeth, take short showers instead of baths and collect rainwater for the garden in a water butt.
Turn it off. Unplug any electrical items not in use and turn off lights. Open your curtains to let the light in during the day.
Want to do more? Then please sign up to the Brent Climate Change Pledge. We are asking local people to cut the greenhouse gases they cause by signing up to the Brent Climate Change Pledge. The pledge details a number of small steps you can take in your daily life that will add up to big changes. If you sign up, you promise to: • waste less energy • cycle, walk or use public transport • reduce and recycle rubbish • waste less water • and eat food when it’s in season.

Sweet charity. Give unwanted but still useable clothes and toys to charity shops rather than throwing them away. Small steps like these add up to big changes.
The pledge is part of Brent’s new Climate Change Strategy. It’s easy to make a difference. Visit www.brent.gov.uk/climatechange or call 0208 937 5326.
