We don't just talk about "protecting the environment" at Questacon. Under the guidance of our Environmental Policy, we're working hard to turn words into action.
In 2007, we reduced our use of electricity by more than 10% by installing more efficient lighting and being smarter in the way we heat and cool our Centre in Canberra. We reduced our use of water and natural gas too. And our biggest touring program, the Shell Questacon Science Circus, is now carbon neutral, using carbon offsets to cover flights, hire cars and the thousands of kilometres the truck travels every year.
There's lots of ways you can reduce your environmental impact too. We're hoping to highlight a whole bunch of ideas in an upcoming exhibition we're working on with the National Water Commission. Together, we can make a difference.
