Taking small steps to reduce your carbon footprint can be extremely simple yet very impactful for the planet. Here are 5 easy practices you can start today:
Take shorter showers. Of course, make sure that you are actually getting clean, but start timing your showers and see it you can make them shorter and shorter every day.
Carpool. Gasoline is a major greenhouse gas, so the fewer vehicles being used at once, the better for the planet.
Unplug electronics when they are not in use. You do not need your phone charger or toaster to be plugged into an outlet 24/7. It’s a waste of energy, so unplug!
Buy locally grown foods/produce. Not only is this better for your health, but it also calls for less travel time and therefore fewer carbon emissions.
Invest in a reusable water bottle. The majority of the world’s plastic bottles end up either in a landfill or stuck at the bottom of the ocean. Protect our wildlife and go get yourself a Hyrdoflask.
