One Planet Living

If everyone in the world were to consume natural resources and generate carbon dioxide (CO2) at the rate we do in the UK, we would need three planets to support us.

Of course, we only have one planet - and we're using its resources at a faster rate than it can replenish them. But there is a way in which we can live within the Earth's natural capacity and still enjoy a high quality of life. WWF-UK has identifid 10 guiding principles, which, if followed will create create a world in which people everywhere can lead happy, healthy lives within their fair share of the Earth's resources.

One Planet Living is centred around the following guiding principles:

1. Zero Carbon
2. Zero Waste
3. Sustainable Transport
4. Sustainable Materials
5. Local and Sustainable Food
