Sustainability in everyday life

As Climate change seems to be a bigger and bigger problem requiring the help of many individuals to start to solve we need to look to everyday solutions to help the problem. Firstly If at all you can you should take public transport of at the vary least try to travel with other people so that all of your travel carbon loads are shared and reducing the load if everyone went individually. Additionally Red meat is the most carbon intensive food group and if you can avoid purchasing and thus disincentivizing farms from having cows and other red meat animals and reducing CO2 production further.

I totally agree with you, using public modes of transportation does share the carbon emission thats released into the atmosphere and when you drive in a car alone thats your carbon emissions but when you take public transportation it has a lot of benefits to the climate issue in the world right now. its also just something you can do everyday to stop this problem that effects every single one of us. Another way to help with the climate change problem is to purchase or rent a electric vehicle. The plant will thank you. The website IEA Global EV Data Explorer tracks how many electric batteries are purchase in the whole world each year, there has been a large increase from 2019 to 2022.

I completely agree with the idea that there are numerous ways we, as individuals, can contribute to reducing our carbon footprint. Simple actions, like unplugging devices when not in use, or even carpooling, can have a significant impact on the environment and the future of our planet. The issue of climate change is currently a major concern, and we must take responsibility for our actions to ensure a sustainable future. While it may take a collective effort to make a significant change, each individual can play their part in reducing their carbon footprint. One effective way to achieve this is through our mode of transportation. In fact, transportation-related carbon dioxide emissions were the leading contributor to climate change in November 2017. By carpooling, taking public transport, or even cycling, we can significantly reduce our carbon footprint. To put it into perspective, going without a car for a year can save up to 2.6 tons of carbon dioxide emissions.
