CLIMATE CHANGE SOLUTIONS

 Everyone can help limit climate change . From the way we travel to the electricity we use and the food we eat, we can make a difference .

(a)SAVE ENERGY AT HOME

Much of our electricity and heat is powered by coal,oil and gas. Use less energy by lowering your heating and cooling, switching to LED light bulbs and energy efficient electric appliances, washing your laundry with cold water or hanging things to dry instead of using a dryer.

(b) WALK, CYCLE OR TAKE PUBLIC TRANSPORT

The world's roads are clogged with vehicles, most of them burning diesel or petrol. Walking or riding a bike instead of driving will reduce greenhouse gas emissions and help your health and fitness. For longer distances, consider taking a train or bus. And carpool whenever possible. 

(c) EAT MORE VEGETABLES

Eating more vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes,nuts and seeds, and less meat and dairy, can significantly lower your environmental impact. Producing plant based foods generally results in fewer greenhouse gas emissions and requires less energy, land and water.

(d) CHANGE YOUR HOMES SOURCE OF ENERGY

Ask your utility company if your home energy comes from oil,coal or gas. If possible, see if you can switch to renewable sources such as wind or solar. Or install solar panels on your roof to generate energy for your home.
