What is Green Heart

Green Heart is Brisbane City Council’s program to make Brisbane Australia’s most sustainable city.

Brisbane residents have already shown the world that we lead the way in water saving, by meeting our water target of 140 litres per person per day.

Now, we are aiming to be a carbon neutral city by 2026.

Currently, each Brisbane household emits 16 tonnes of greenhouse gas annually.

We are aiming to reduce greenhouse emissions to 10 tonnes per household annually by 2012. But research has shown that to stop climate change, each person on the planet should be emitting no more than one tonne annually.

This is our final carbon footprint target – one tonne for everyone.
