Lots of family households have a noteably high carbon footprint. lots of this carbon you are producing are from two things; food, and transportation. Specifically in my household the majority of our carbon footprint comes from the intake of different meats. Ideas to reduce this number could be making an effort to regularily eat more plant based meals during your week. Planning out your meals in advance so you know the ingredients you need and then making sure they are in your refrigerator. This will help reduce your carbon footprint signifigantly. Now, when it comes to transportation, families will drive to work or drive their kids to school on the daily. You can lessan your transportation numbers simply by biking or taking public transport to school/work. Or just plain old walking. You may say that you dont have time in the mornings to take public transit or walk, and that may be true on certain mornings. But saying that you also can make an effort to wake up earlier to catch the bus. This may require your bedtime to get earlier aswell. so you are still getting enough sleep. These are just a few things that can help reduce your carbon footprint; while also giving you insights on what causes your carbon footprint to be so high in the first place.
