Believe it or not, if I didn’t travel, I would indeed be carbon neutral with my electric car. However, every airline flight I take dumps a ton of CO2 and I haven’t yet made up for that, but I’m working on it!
Four quick & easy things to reduce your carbon use:
1. Combine trips, don’t be a slave to errands. Carpool, take the bus or train, especially for things like kids activities, etc…
2. Use the recyclable grocery bags. I love mine because they are so sturdy and never rip. Yes, I have to remind myself when I go in the store, but it’s save me 100s of plastic bags already.
3. Recycle in your house. Most cities already have recycle programs and every can and bottle you recycle saves the energy needed to take the raw material out of the ground in the first place.
4. Use an electric mower, electric trimmer, electric tools. Avoiding all household tools that use oil/gasoline, you help keep the planet livable for everyone.
