CARBON FOOTPRINT EVALUATION

Today, Sustainability has become a hot topic of debate. With growing worries about climate change, pollution, and environmental damage, it is critical that individuals take responsibility and implement sustainable practices in their everyday life. Making intentional choices that lower our carbon footprint and environmental impact is what it means to be sustainable in one’s daily life. Although it has been already been discussed by some people on  how businesses can embrace sustainable practices, I believe it is also vital to explore some easy yet effective ways for individuals to make a difference.

Every human has a responsibility to safeguard the environment, and sustainability is a critical component of that responsibility.

By adopting sustainable choices in our own life, we take a modest step towards sustainability each time we make a conscious decision.

Adopting sustainable practices is critical for conserving natural resources and ensuring their availability for future generations.

Small routine efforts that add up to a big impact is the need of the day. There are some actions our family can take to lead a Sustainable Lifestyle. There are numerous other actions that can be done; therefore, there is no complete list. To make things easier, take little steps and try things out one at a time rather than attempting to do everything at once.

Sustainability is critical for the survival of our planet; it is not just a buzzword. We are all responsible for adopting sustainable behavior in our daily lives.

Small modifications in our everyday activities can have a large influence on the environment.

As a matter of fact, the issue about sustainability came up due the over-actions of our own selves in the name of creating a modern or luxurious life or also trying to make an easy living. now we are compelled to review those actions in order to identify the actual contributors to the climate change which in return with constant and conscious practices will save us some unexpected money. The benefits from such practices will continue as long as there is no stop to them. Not only saving money that is the benefits ,also having a healthy living in return.

We must remember that sustainability necessitates a way of life that we must accept and embrace. Let us all pledge to live more sustainably and to benefit the environment for both current and future generations.

Here are 3 things that we need for sustainable lifestyle:

1. Clarity. If we don’t know exactly what we want to achieve and why, it’s difficult to stay motivated. Make sure we have a “big why” that we feel connected to behind everything we strive towards.⁣⁣

2.Direction. Planning and strategizing are effective because they give us direction. We’re never lost wondering what to do — our next step is always right there. Without that point of reference, it’s easy to lose sight of what has to happen next.⁣⁣

⁣⁣3.Support. Support looks different for everyone. Some people want words of encouragement, others require tough love and accountability. Either way, having somebody we can turn to when things feel difficult can be the difference between giving up on our goal or achieving it.⁣⁣

These days, we might be thinking about to reduce our carbon footprint. It is impossible to miss news about the environmental effects of burning fossil fuels. While the problem is big, little changes we make everyday  can help contribute to a cleaner, greener future.

Before I talk about way to reduce our carbon footprint, we must first ask: what is carbon footprint? A carbon footprint is the sum of all the byproducts that come from using fossil fuels to manufacture and move goods, build structures for home and businesses, provide food and travel.

The gasses produced by these activities, namely carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and others are called greenhouse gases because they trap heat in the atmosphere, raising the average temperature of the earth.

Reducing your carbon footprint means changing how we approach and participate in activities that produce greenhouse gasses.

In the face of the recent National Climate Assessment report on the threats of climate change, continues to try to roll back environmental policies. Individuals, however, can make a difference by reducing their personal greenhouse gas emissions. They require little effort or financial investment.

First calculate your carbon footprint

Our carbon footprint is the amount of greenhouse gases—including carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, fluorinated gases and others—that you produce as we live our life. The Deep De-carbonisation Pathways Project determined that in order to hold the global temperature rise to 2˚C or less, everyone on earth will need to average an annual carbon footprint of 1.87 tons by 2050. Currently, the average U.S. per capita carbon footprint is 18.3 tons. By comparison, China’s per capita carbon emissions are 8.2 tons. Africa also has a part to play in this project, for we all still live on this very planet. We all have a way to go to get to 1.87 tons.
