Living with one less petrol or diesel car in your family seriously reduces your carbon emissions. And if that's not possible, switching to a hybrid or fully electric vehicle is a step in the right direction. Electric vehicles produce significantly fewer emissions and are more energy-efficient compared to traditional combustion engines.
Flying one less long-haul flight per year has the potential to reduce your annual carbon footprint by over 1.6 tonnes. Air travel is one of the most carbon-intensive activities, so opting for trains, buses, or video conferencing can make a substantial difference.
Walking, cycling, using the bus or train reduce the carbon footprint of your daily travel and also improve your health and wellbeing through reduced stress and anxiety. Cities with good public transport infrastructure make it easier to leave the car at home.
Emissions from animal products are very high in comparison to plant-based foods. Switching to plant-based foods supports your health, wealth and the climate. Contrary to popular belief, it's not expensive to switch, and many affordable options are available.
Time to start looking at the efficiency of all your appliances, lightbulbs and electricals to understand how much energy they waste. Simple changes like LED bulbs, smart thermostats, and energy-efficient appliances can significantly reduce your energy consumption.
