FROM GREENHOUSE TO GREEN HOUSE From Greenhouse to Green House Home The threats of climate change Green electricity Domestic heating Transport CO2 emissions and savings Highlights Other greening Contact Part of the STOP CLIMATE CHAOS coalition   FROM GREENHOUSE TO GREEN HOUSE  The threats of climate change and what individual householders can do to reduce them Gerry Wolff and Marianne Jones Introduction Commentary on the “UK renewable energy strategy consultation” from the UK government's Department of Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform, June 2008. Energy UK is a response to the 2007 Energy White Paper. One Hundred Months campaign Saving the planet, like charity, begins at home. This web site is a "consumer's eye view" of conservation. It describes what we have learned in trying to make our household less damaging to the environment. By "household" wemean the way we run our house and also how we travel around. The danger posed by war to all of humanity and to our planet is at least matched by the climate crisis and global warming. Ban Ki-moon, Secretary General of the UN, March 2007. Making an ordinary house green could make a fascinating subject for a TV series.The main emphasis in these notes is on possible ways of cutting emissions of greenhouse gases, mainly CO2. Amongst environmental problems, climate change is "the big one" both in terms of the threats that it poses, the difficulty of solving the problem and the urgency of the action that is needed.We quite like the idea of building an 'eco' house (if we could find a suitable site) but this would teach us less about what can be done with existing houses. Given that the UK is unlikely to tear down its entire stock of houses and rebuild from scratch, zero-carbon 'eco-renovation' of existing houses is where the real challenge lies.Our spreadsheet on CO2 emissions and savings shows that it is relatively easy to make quite substantial cuts in CO2 emissions. Without great expense, inconvenience or discomfort, we have already managed to cut our CO2 emissions by about 50%. If the same is true of industry and commerce—which we suspect it is—then, with the right incentives (provided by Government), the UK should be able to reach the Government's target of a 60% cut in CO2 emissions much sooner than the 2050 date that they have set.In these notes, we have highlighted problems where some kind of initiative by Government seems to be needed. On an accompanying web page, we have summarised what we think those initiatives should be. I find it surprising that every single one of us insures our home when there is a 0.1% probability—maybe 0.5% probability—our home will burn down. With something between a 20% and 80% probability of our planet burning down, we don't insure ... our planet. I find that surprising!
