\"Go<\/a>The Scottish Government has launched a new\u00a0mission to tackle climate change.<\/p>\n

Your Mission Objectives are:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mission 1\u00a0<\/strong>– Don’t sweat the small stuff. Turn down your thermostat<\/a> by just one degree. You’ll cut your energy bills by around \u00a390 a year and help create a cleaner Scotland. You won’t even feel the difference, you’ll still be warm and cosy.<\/p>\n

Mission 2<\/strong> – Make a clean getaway. Set the washing machine to 30 degrees<\/a>, it’ll save energy and cut those fuel bills. Besides, a lower temperature wash is kinder to your clothes and they’ll emerge just as clean.<\/p>\n

Mission 3<\/strong> –\u00a0Give food waste the chop<\/a> by using up leftovers, reducing what you buy and planning meals before you shop. The average Scottish household throws away around \u00a3470 worth of food every year. Shop savvy and you’ll not just have less waste, you’ll have more money too.<\/p>\n

Mission 4<\/strong> – Engage leg power<\/a>: leave the car behind for all those short trips and walk instead. You cut down on CO2<\/sub> emissions and help create a cleaner, less congested Scotland. You’ll feel great too \u2013 walking helps us cope with stress, burns calories and feels good.<\/p>\n
