We know that climate change is a global issue, and 4WARD is here to help by providing a platform to create collaborative action in tackling climate change. But that doesn’t mean that individual action isn’t going to make any significant difference! In fact, by making mindful choices every day, we can help reduce emissions and contribute to a healthier planet.
If you’re unsure on where to start, here are some guide for you:
- Start calculating your carbon footprint (you can use carbonfootprint for example!) to understand the impact and how to reduce it
- Consume lower on the food chain by eating more fruits, vegetables, grains, and beans to cut down on emissions associated with livestock production
- Avoid fast fashion and start choosing quality clothing that lasts longer (P.S. you can also thrift to find good quality clothing for cheap prices!)
- If you want to start recycling, you can search resources from iRecycle (iOS) to learn more about recycling guides in your current location
- Use reusable bags when shopping to reduce plastic use
- Switch to an eco-friendly search engine like Ecosia that uses its advertising revenue to plant trees
- Fly less and direct (P.S. According to the Climate Action Accelerator, direct flights can reduce CO2 emissions by 25% to 40% compared to connecting flights!)
Last tip—don’t overwhelm yourself! You can start by doing one thing first and slowly taking more action to help reduce emissions on this planet. Don’t forget to check the full list of this personal guide in 4WARD’s Personal Decarbonization Tools, Guides, & Resources so you don’t miss out on anything.
