Personal & easy changes to reduce our carbon footprint
Some ideas of the easiest changes we can make
- buy less stuff
- none food shopping: pre-owned items first choice
- diet: vegetarian, vegan, or at least less meat
- walk and cycle more, or at least drive less
- fewer cruises and flights abroad
- smaller homes, better insulated
- if a car essential, dont keep replacing
- if new car is essential, small and electric
- 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+.
