Given Australia's lacklustre performance at and during the Copenhagen summit, many environmentally concerned Aussies are feeling less than inspired about the future.
Well, kick up your heels, Australia: according to a recent study, the nation's eastern states have reduced greenhouse emissions by 1.8%.
Explains ABC News, the Climate Group report "shows overall emissions were 5.3 million tonnes lower in 2009 than in the previous year."
South Australia and New South Wales have done the most to reduce emissions -- by 4.2% and 3.1% respectively. If Australians keep up their efforts, the report says it could mean "big cuts" to emissions by 2020.
Yes, people power works! How will you celebrate?
