My dearest daughter, read this article with all your heart.
I am talking to you, Angela.
12 Simple Things You Can Do to Reduce Your Carbon Footprint
Turn it off
Turn off lights, televisions, videos, stereos and computers when not in use - they can use 10 to 40% of the power when on standby. Also, unplug chargers as soon as they have finished charging.
Be exact
Fill the kettle with only as much water as you need.
Close it
Don't leave fridge doors open for longer than necessary.
Check your tires
Properly inflated tires can improve your car’s fuel efficiency.
Use no plastic
Use cloth bags when going shopping and avoid buying products which use too much plastic.
Fan up
Instead of using air conditioners in the summer, wear cool clothes, and use a fan.
Drive less
Do your weekly errands in a single trip or pay your bills online. Walk, bike, ride the bus or carpool.
Optimize your speed
You will consume up to 25% less fuel if you drive no more than 90 km/hr.
Drive hybrid
A hybrid or other fuel-efficient car emits less carbon dioxide.
Replace them
Replace your incandescent bulb with a compact fluorescent light bulb (CFL). CFLs cost 3 to 5 times as much but use less than a third of the power. Also, replace old fridge and other appliances with energy-efficient ones.
Watch what you eat
Choose food produced close to your home.
Recycle
Consume less, and re-use old products.
