Reducing Carbon Footprint
When it comes to reducing your carbon footprint it might seem like a needle in a haystack compared to the rest of the world, but by doing small steps it can have a change in overall carbon footprint, especially if encouraging your friends and family to also take action. Of course, you have heard about changing the light bulbs in your home to LED's could greatly decrease CO2, but there are other ways you can at home. Setting your water heater thermostat to no greater than 120F, and warping an insulated blanket around the heater can reduce C02 by 1,850 pounds per year. On top of that, you could also install a low-flow shower head and wash your clothes in cold or warm water, instead of hot.
