While news about climate change can feel overwhelming, there are very concrete steps we can take to fight it. Have you ever wondered how much of a difference you can truly make?
To start, it’s helpful to know where your emissions come from. As individuals, we don’t always see them as clearly as emissions from a tailpipe. Nonetheless, our daily actions result in about 20 metric tonnes of carbon emissions each year.
The 5 major categories of these emissions are:
1. Travel: Most of this is from driving, but air travel and even commuting by bus or train produce emissions too.
2. Home: Most of this is from electricity and gas. Still, even the water at our home requires energy to pump, purify, and deliver.
3. Goods: From the clothes we wear to the appliances we use every day, the things we buy require energy to manufacture and ship to our homes.
4. Food: The food we buy requires energy to cultivate, harvest, and deliver. The higher up on the food chain, and the further away from our homes, the more emissions our food consumption creates.
5. Essential Services: The services we use, such as internet streaming, banking, and healthcare all result in emissions too.
Here’s how you can offset your carbon footprint:
We can all contribute to directly lowering our footprint by doing things like driving less, eating less meat, or even buying electric vehicles or solar panels.
