One Planet Homes
Change begins at home
WWF is trying to make it easier for people to reduce the environmental impacts of their homes and lifestyles – and save themselves some money too.
The way we heat and power our homes has a massive impact on the environment – not just locally, but globally. Our homes account for 22% of our ecological footprint and up to 30% of our carbon emissions.
WWF wants to help everyone get information on eco-home improvements and, most importantly, to find fast and cost-effective ways to make real reductions in energy use and fuel bills.
Building for the future
WWF is working to promote and deliver low-impact sustainable housing.

Working in partnership
WWF is working in tandem with businesses to drive environmental innovation and best practice in the housing sector.
Building on success
Following on from our One Million Sustainable Homes (OMSH) campaign, WWF aims to significantly reduce CO2 emissions and other environmental impacts from the UK's existing housing stock.
