A major impact on how big our carbon footprint is, is the amount of packaged food we buy every week or day. Not to mention that we also have to drive to get these foods, producing more carbon emissions than we perhaps could. A great way to cut down on these emissions, and the waste that comes from these packaged products is to either grow some or all of your own food, or buy locally. By doing this, you can greatly cut down on packaging due to the fact that you can bring it straight from your garden to your table. You also don’t have to drive to buy it, so you’re cutting down on your overall CO2 emissions. I believe that if more people in our society attempted this, it would more greatly effect the size of our carbon footprint.
