Reduce your emissions!

Reducing carbon dioxide emissions in your everyday life is very simple!

Here are some examples of what you could do: ● Use public transportation, bike or walk more often, and encourage others to do so, too. ● Turn off lights and appliances when you’re not using them. ● Plug air leaks in windows and doors, and put rugs on your floors so you can keep warm at home, while turning down your thermostat to save energy. ● Buy used clothing and other items, and donate the things you don’t use anymore. ● Buy products that have been made or grown locally rather than shipped or flown from far away. Learn how to grow your own food, and help others learn. ● Eat less meat, poultry and fish, which take more energy to raise than plant-based foods. ● Make a solar cooker (see dedicated article : “Make a solar cooker!”). ● Plant trees or organize a tree-planting event. ● Persuade family and community members to do these things, too.
