tips for co2-reduction
Consumer goods
Food and drinks
Eating little or no meat is one of the easiest ways to reduce your carbon footprint. Two thirds of the environmental impact of everything we eat and drink is caused by meat consumption. This is mainly due to the production of animal feed: soy plantations cause deforestation, large-scale water and pesticide use.
Household
You probably use gas to heat your house and water. And you use a lot of energy to run all your devices. Living determines a large part of your carbon footprint. Fortunately, you can also save a lot of energy here, for example by better insulating your home or by replacing your light bulbs with LED lighting.
Transport
Do you ever go on holiday via airplane? Then you have a big opportunity to reduce your carbon footprint. Air travel emits many times more CO₂ than travel by car, or even better, the train. A return trip from Bali is equal to four years of driving.
With a few simple steps, you can reduce the CO₂ footprint of yourself and your household. Nevertheless, you will usually still emit a certain amount of CO₂. FairClimateFund helps you offset your residual CO₂ emissions in an fair way. By becoming CO₂ neutral you can ensure a better life for those most vulnerable to the effects of climate change.
