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.
