What are some ways to reduce our carbon footprint?
There are many ways in which we can reduce our carbon footprints. Our earth is warming up and one of the main causes are because of the greenhouse gases that we are causing. These greenhouse gasses are caused by burning up fossil fuels, factories releasing carbon dioxide, creating cement, traveling on an airplane, using cars and more. To release those we can try to be more vigilant with our daily usage of these stuff. For example if you were planning to go to your local supermarket for some light groceries try biking there instead. You can get both exercise and errands done. For driving, you should try to buy a hybrid or electric car. It does not have to be a new flash car but car that will not put more harm. Another great idea is to use cloth bags. Although they are manufactured and do cause some harm in the making they are reusable for e avery long time. A great alternative for buying jams and other similar substances is to bring your own jars and have a dispenser to fill it up. Remember that each person's intake on this has a great impact no matter how little you are doing.
