So many of you ask the question, “What can I do to make a difference in the fight against Global Warming and climate change”? There are so many options, I can only discuss a few in this post.
1) Effective Recycling. Be sure your local authority offers the most complete list of recyclable materials to maximize you household efforts. Many plastic types that were once not recyclable now are. Also, don’t forget things like some building materials, food packaging etc.
2) Turn off TV’s and Electronic equipment when not in use. Even when they are “off” many appliances actually use energy when they are in the off position. Consider using an outlet strip, and turning it off when not in use.
3) Change household chemicals. Eliminate aerosol cleaners and products that add toxins to the air and environment. Use thing made from renewable and sustainable ingredients. Also try to use products that are concentrated, this will eliminate packaging waste and lots of CO2 emissions.
These are just a few ideas, please send me your suggestions as well!
