Presentation Summary

People with higher incomes produce significantly more emissions than those with low incomes. This is mainly due to people on high incomes having more money to buy things and to travel. We can all reduce the amount of emissions we create by thinking about what we buy and asking, ‘Can I make this or can I mend something instead?’
