  • Your carbon footprint is how many greenhouse gases you release in your daily activities. Be remembered by your good deeds, not your carbon emissions.

I like it - very concise with good ideas.

I've been able to make a habit of brining my canvas tote while shopping. It took me a long time, but it got to the point that I started looking at each plastic bag with disgust. It's the little things that start momentum. Now I've got to get myself a coffee mug.

Consuming less meat should also be mentioned. Raising animals for food is a primary cause of deforestation, water shortage, and greenhouse gas emissions. Animal agriculture takes up 70% of all agricultural land, and 30% of the total land. It's not at a steady state either, due to the world's population rising so quickly. Moreover, animal agriculture accounts for 37% of our methane, and 65% of our nitrous oxide, which wield approximately 20 and 300 times the warming power of carbon dioxide, respectively. (it constitutes only 9% of carbon dioxide emissions) ...didn't mean to make this post so academic.

Nice high level points about easy things conscientious people can do to make little changes. I'm excited to see future installments!

If Cattle produce 37% of the world's methane, does that mean we should kill all the cows and then stop eating beef?
