Personal & easy changes to reduce our carbon footprint

Some ideas of the easiest changes we can make

  1. buy less stuff
  2. none food shopping: pre-owned items first choice
  3. diet: vegetarian, vegan, or at least less meat
  4. walk and cycle more, or at least drive less
  5. fewer cruises and flights abroad
  6. smaller homes, better insulated
  7. if a car essential, dont keep replacing
  8. if new car is essential, small and electric
  9. in Western Europe we produce 12-14 tons a person on average, but the planet only converts 0.5- 2 tons of this back into oxygen, so the rest accumulates. We need a massive reduction! ref . An average rich person will produce 40 tons a year, the very rich 400+, super rich 4000+.
