I think to decrease my families carbon footprint there would be a lot of changes we would need to/could make together. By talking to my family about supporting local organizations that pick up trash and clean, and primarily buying as much local produce/items as possible positively impacts the environment. Getting organic food and reducing the amounts of food like meat and dairy and going on a more vegetarian based diet is a friendly alternative. Short distances in cars can be unnecessary, therefore considering cycling or carpooling to places here and there is good. A big one is the encouragement of keeping a garden and composting rather than buying more. By using less water when washing dishes or with the sink, brushing teeth, taking showers, or other things such as this prevents the wastage of water. One of the most important things is being mindful of the lights in our home and heating. To improve this using more LED lights and turning lights off when done with them immediately after is the most efficient way to save more energy. We can seal our windows and leave the heat on lower, and instead wear warmer clothes around the house. Rather than air conditioning having multiple fans during the summer season can be very beneficial as well.
