ETHICAL
My name's Juston Rowlatt and I'm the BBC's Ethical Man.
My family and I spent a year dcn•. everything we could to try to redut* our impact on the environment. We changed the light bulbs in out house to energy-saving bulbs. We changed the way we heat and power our home. We stopped flying and we got rid of the car. Instead we walked, used bicycles or took public transport. We did our supermarket shopping online. ate organic vegetables and I even stopped eating meat (for a month My heavily pregnant wife, Bee, walked two miles to hospital in the middle of the night, to give birth our third daughter, Elsa. When we went on holiday to France, insteac of choosing a two-hour flight, we went on a nightmarish twelve-ho: journey on the train, in a heatwavs
I had hoped our efforts would demonstrate how normal families could help to reduce their impact on the environment. But despite our best efforts, we only reduced our greenhouse gas emissions by 20 percent. Clearly the efforts of ethical men and women acting alone are not the answer. So what

fixes
I've had a new idea. And now I'm travelling across America in search of some solutions. Each American is responsible for twenty tons of carbon dioxide emissions, more than twice that of the average European.
uce The idea of the trip is simple.
I think if we can solve it here we can solve it anywhere. But, as Ethical Man, I have to keep my environmental impact to a minimum. Of course I'm going to fly from Britain, but after that my challenge is to get around in the most low carbon way possible. I'll be travelling 6,500 miles, so it's not going to be easy, but I will use public transport wherever possible. During my trip, I'll talk to ordinary people, businessmen and politicians to hear to
their views on climate change and discuss ways in which we can try d
to reduce carbon emissions. And I'll
drive an electric car. ur a You can track my progress on the map and watch our video reports along the way. Please give me advice: I want your thoughts on what we need to do as societies to make the cuts in emissions that are needed. Do you have an idea for a solution to climate change? Are you inventing the solution in your garage? If you are, please let me know.
