Reducing your carbon footprint is about making simple changes that in time make a positive impact on the earth.

Home Energy and Water Usage

  • Turn off lights, water, and electronics when they are not in use.
  • Cut back on really long, hot showers.
  • Change out your light bulbs for energy saving ones. When you upgrade appliances, be sure that they are Energy Star certified.
  • Upgrade to a programmable thermostat so that your unit is not on when no one is home.
  • Consider using other forms of energy, such as solar, wind, etc.

Transportation

  • Cut back on flying and driving as much as possible.
  • Reduce car trips by grocery shopping only one to two times per month or doing all errands on one day instead of multiple days a week.
  • You might walk, bike or carpool when you can, and maintain your vehicle and tires to lower vehicle emissions.
  • You might even consider an electric car to maximize your efforts.

Food

  • Improve your health while reducing your carbon footprint by cutting or reducing beef and dairy in your diet.
  • Eating locally means that the cost of transporting goods is being cut.
  • You may even consider growing your own vegetable garden.

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

We have heard it for years- “Reduce. Reuse. Recycle.” It still applies today. Besides reducing the previous items discussed, reusing and recycling can help our environment. Below are just a few ideas:

  • Instead of buying bottled water, purchase reusable water bottles and a water filtration system.
  • Use a notepad app on your phone or tablet instead of writing notes on paper.
  • Purchase recycled goods and recycle any items you can.
  • Give unwanted items to family, friends or charity if it is still usable.

The ways in which you can do the “3 R’s” are limitless.
