HOW TO REDUCE YOUT CO2 FOOTPRINT

Easily reduce your carbon footprint

The carbon footprint is the concept used to quantify the impact of an activity, a person or a country on climate change.

How much carbon is emitted when manufacturing your pants, your food or your mobile phone?

The increase in greenhouse gas emissions has a direct impact on global warming. We can all contribute to fighting climate change by making environmentally friendly choices in our daily lives.

Follow these tips and you will easily reduce your carbon footprint. Small changes can make a big difference.

Reduce your food footprint:

• Eat local and seasonal: Eating fresh produce that is not in season or from the other side of the world leaves a large carbon footprint. Leave the melon for the summer!
  
  
• Limit your meat intake: Nobody tells you that you have to become a vegetarian against your will, but can you eat a little less meat than you do? The process that must be done so that you have a steak on the table implies a lot of Co2 emission, especially beef.

Reduce the footprint of the energy you consume:

• Lower the heating 1 degree. You will not notice the difference, but consumption drops considerably. Your pocket will also thank you!
  
  
• Unplug electronic devices when the battery is already charged or when you are not using them. It is no sacrifice and unnecessary consumption is saved.
  
  
• Buy energy efficient appliances. They are identified with a label that bears a green letter “A”. Not only are they usually the most modern, but since they consume less energy, using them is cheaper. It is also very effective to use energy-efficient light bulbs.
  
  
• Use public transport: It is better to travel by bicycle or public transport, it is more sustainable and cheaper. Prioritize taking trains before the car or planes; one less return flight per year per person will reduce 1.9 tons of CO2.

Reduce the footprint of your clothes:

Take good care of the clothes you have. When you want to make a change of wardrobe, think about donating or selling the clothes you no longer want and also look at the second-hand clothes offer, today there are many applications where you can find clothes of many styles! If you prefer to buy new clothes, we recommend that you look for stores that sell clothes made responsibly, with an eco-label or with recycled materials.
