How can you reduce you carbon footprint?

Answer 1

There are too many ways to reduce your carbon footprint to list here.

However, here are some of the main ones:

• Use less electricity, or get a renewable energy source (such as wind or solar power).
• Reduce, reuse, and recycle any household garbage as much as you can.
• Compost as much kitchen waste and paper waste as you can.
• Buying local products, such as foods (the further a product is shipped, the more fuel is wasted on transporting it).
• Using public transportation, carpooling, or, ideally, cycling or walking to go from place to place.
• If you want to make your household even more eco-friendly, consider:
• Reducing your water usage
• Buying certified organic food and certified organic cotton clothing
• Using biodegradable soaps and cleaning products.

• # Try to use public transport when possible, or car share. Drive as little as possible - walk or cycle when you can.
• # Turn your water heating and central heating down slightly when it isn't too cold
• # Don't leave any lights etc. on when you don't need them
• # Try not to waste water so have a short shower rather than having a bath.
• # don't throw away so much food, stick it in a container and use it for a day where you can't be bothered making dinner.
• # recycle, if you recycle it will be cutting down on the amount of plastic that goes into the world and when you are finished with something recyclable make sure you check on the side to see if it is recyclable
• # Don't leave appliances on stand-by - always turn them off and if possible, unplug them when not in use.
• # Use as few resources as possible.
• # Try to make make sure that your home and work place are making efficient use of energy
• insulate,
• use low-energy LED lights,
• update old equipment (e.g. boilers, heating, air-conditioning) to newer more energy efficient models. This will also save money in the long term as it will keep utility bills down.
• # Re-use and recycle whenever possible, and when you buy new products, research the resources that went into making and transporting them, and let that inform your choices.
• When you have to buy new things, buy local.
• turn off light when not in use
• when you are cleaning your teeth don't leave the tap running
• don't leave wires plugged in when not in use
• Go Green: use as many green solutions as you can, from buying a hybrid car to using solar panels.
• Teleworking: use conference calls so that you don' t need to travel so much to meet up with your team
• * take shorter showers
• * walk instead of driving
• * don't waste paper
• * don't waste electricity (leaving lights on)
• * use environmentally friendly resources (solar panels, recycled materials, etc.)
• * live in a small house with small amount of people
