There are some of the easiest and most effective ways to reduce our carbon footprint and help improve our quality of life. Transportation accounts for almost half of noxious air pollution, more than a third of greenhouse gas emissions, one quarter of common air contamination and almost one-fifth of water toxicity.
Reduce your home heating and electricity use. A more energy-efficient home will lower your utility bills and reduce the emissions that cause climate change.
Composting all organic waste and recycling paper, cardboard, cans and bottles will help reduce the greenhouse gas emissions associated with landfills.
