QUESTION
Climate & Ecosystems
What is one way you will reduce your carbon foorprint? What is a practice you already have that helps you reduce your carbon footprint?
I will reduce my carbon footprint by determining how to use more clean electricity and maintain my car. I reduce my footprint by telecommuting 3 days a week, eating more organic products, buying more climate friendly cleaning supplies and paper goods, and using LED's.
The implication is that we won't know what the world looks like and what we as human beings are doing to it! It is easier to care about the earth when we are interacting each day with it then being on our screens. Also, part of the reason I do OCR's is to interact with nature, see friends and do something healthy!
list in no particular order: 1. trash and recycle cans in each bedroom and the kitchen, also use the "pink bag" which is for clothes/cloth/shoes that can't be given to goodwill due to stains, wear, etc. 2. Use grove site for ways to use natural products & items that cut down on plastic use (ie. spray bottles, hand soap, etc) 3. If a location doesn't have a recycling program, I take it home with me to do it. 4. returnable cans are put in a bag so the gentlemen that collects them from the recycling bins in my neighborhood doesn't need to go through my curbside pick up.
