Do you want to reduce your carbon footprint?

A carbon footprint is the measure of the Green House Gas emissions of an organization, process, person, or event in a given time period. It is calculated in units of tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (tCO2e). GE3S helps it's clients to establish a process, build organizational capacity to measure, analyze and monitor their GHG emissions that help organizations to realize their Carbon Footprint and build a climate change mitigation strategy.

If we want to save ourselves and our planet from climate change, we need new policies and some governmental actions. Many studies are done on how to reduce carbon footprint, which says there are four ways to reduce individual carbon emission.

Eat a Plant-based Diet

In media many articles are published on a plant-based diet in the last few months. Plant-based diets are getting popular these days which means ditching meat to fight climate breakdown. Plant-based diets are a good alternative for clean meat to save the environment. This type of diet saves around 0.8 tons of CO2 equivalent per year.

Air Travel

Flights are the main source of gas emission, unfortunately, we can’t avoid flying.

Car-free environment

Many research is done on how the car affects the environment by emitting carbon footprint. Research predicts that a car-free environment can save around 2.4 tons of CO2 equivalent per year. In some countries like nether land uses public transport to travel here and there so they will have a less carbon footprint.

Small Family

Now a day’s population is the main concern for the environment. Less population means less carbon emission, less carbon footprint.

Taking part in environmental initiatives

Try to buy your fruits and veggies from any local farmers market instead of going to supermarkets and all. Farmers always try to use healthier and more organic practices that are better on the environment.

Keeping these smaller companies open at the expense of less-environmentally-friendly options can do more to sway a company toward environmentally-friendly practices than any personal initiative of your own.

Use tap water

Try to use tap water instead of using bottled water to help the environment and to reduce carbon footprint. The recent water filtration systems in the market create less waste.    

 

Reduce usage of the air-conditioning system

Turn off your thermostat when you are not at home which may save 15% of your energy bill.  People keep the home cool during the day and warm there self by sweater and blankets instead you can reduce your carbon footprint.

Now a day’s smart home thermostat also available in the market, using the smart home thermostat, can control home temperature no, matter wherever you are. Changing a temp by a centigrade makes a big difference on your energy bill.
