Quick tips

  • Think about the making. For gadgets and clothes, most of the footprint comes from making them, not using them.
  • Cows weigh a lot. Beef, cheese and milk carry methane from cattle, so dairy and beef sit high on food lists.
  • Watch the flights. One long flight can outweigh months of everyday driving.
  • Heat is hungry. Heating homes, water and tumble dryers uses far more energy than lights or streaming.
  • Save the clue. A clue reveals one figure for 25 points. Use it when two suspects look close.
