"80 Max climate solutions takes a holistic approach to the climate crisis. All our solutions involve you taking simple but radical action to reduce your personal greenhouse gas emissions while reaping wonderful benefits for both yourselves and society at large.

Our SLOW SWITCH GROW initiative will reduce an average person’s 12 tonnes of emissions by a quarter.

SLOW:

simply means to drive at 80km/hr as your top speed to cut an average of one tonne of greenhouse gas from your tailpipe emissions.

The benefits are safer roads, cleaner air, average of €720 extra in your pocket each year, up to twice the lifetime for your tyres and brake pads and your car will last a lot longer.

SWITCH:

Just switch over to 100% renewable electricity companies everytime you switch your provider. As over 75% of people are not with 100% renewable companies the average house produces 1 tonne of greenhouse gas each year.

GROW:

With boxes provided by mens sheds you yourself can easily collect local native tree seeds and plant them in the box. Keep them for 15 months and give them back to us and we will grow them on for another year and distribute them at our annual Family tree festival in Co Wicklow.

Already 1,300 people have pledged to keep to 80km/hr as their top speed, 13,000 native trees have been planted and countless people have switched to 100% renewable energy. That means already thousands of tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions have not gone into the atmosphere and thousands more will be taken out by the trees you grow."
