To fight global warming, individuals have to minimize their own carbon footprint. Change transportation behavior within short order. Walk, cycle or use public transport first. Select vehicles with fuel performance and trip consolidation should be practiced in case it is necessary to drive. Rebuild on intensive commutations; use train or virtual meetings where there is a long travel.
The consumption of energy at home is crucial. Become more efficient by changing to LED lighting, unplugging your electronics left unattended, and when a smart power strip is used. Purchase energy star appliances. Whatever you can do to promote the move to renewable energy, do it with your utility provider.
Food consumption is a major influence on emissions. Cut down on meat, something that can be done by eating less beef and lamb particularly. Choose a plant-centred diet. Select local, seasonal foods in order to reduce emissions during transportation. Fight the food waste by planning meals, storing food well and composting the inevitable leftovers.
Conscious eating is necessary. Fix products as opposed to purchasing new ones. Select goods that are of durability and of good quality. Doubt on the need of all purchases. Make full use of second-hand markets and focus on goods which can be packed using very little (and recyclable) material to save resources and production emissions.
Magnify the effects above individual lifestyles. Take action to change the system by addressing the elected officials and insisting that they develop strong climate policies. Encourage businesses that are sustainability oriented. Use knowledge in your local community to encourage a common cause and multiply individual initiatives.
Conclusion
Global warming is an issue that must be tackled immediately by all people. We are lightening our carbon footprints by creating solutions to our transportation problems, maximizing energy efficiency in homes, eating and cooking with sustainability in mind, and taking action to end the system underlying them all. Such measures will be necessary in providing a stable climate future. There should be personal responsibility and serious action beginning today.
