Reducing household emissions
The Moreland Energy Foundation Ltd (MEFL) is working to reduce greenhouse emissions within our local community.

Every household can make a significant and positive contribution to reducing greenhouse... it's just that we don't always know how.

In 2001, energy used by the Moreland community led to 1,837,895 tonnes of greenhouse gases being emitted - which is equivalent to around ten tonnes per person. This is estimated to grow unless we take action to change energy usage in our homes.

If every Moreland household reduced their energy use by 15% it would prevent around 90,000 tonnes of greenhouse pollution from entering the atmosphere each year. It would also reduce the average household energy costs by about $270 a year.

MEFL has a diverse range of projects and services to assist our truly diverse community.
