- National govt actions
- Renewable energy sources e.g. wind power - v. expensive, NIMBY protests
- National govt energy-saving schemes e.g. UK promotes low-energy lightbulbs + Wales charges 5p for plastic bags (promotes re-use) = little impact on emissions
- Nuclear power = cleaner
- Individual actions
- Recycling - less in landfills, transportation + treatment increase GHG emissions
- National govt actions
