How can I reduce my Carbon Footprint?

Hello everyone, I’m Betül
This is my first article on the blog. Today, I want to talk about our carbon footprint. First of all, let me briefly explain what the carbon footprint is. Carbon footprint is a measure of carbon dioxide that damage to the nature caused by human activities. The choices about our food and clothing are polluting the environment If you are not aware of these damages, I will try to raise awareness. I’m a student, so we can reduce our carbon footprint by doing a student’s example during the day. Let’s talk about this. Since my house is close to school, so I can walk to school. Alternatively, bicycles can be used. But if your house is far from your school, please use public transport. Secondly, let’s save electricity, water and natural gas. Our natural gas bill came to 500 TL this month. We are in the student house and we burn a minimum amount of natural gas. But the excess of this bill made us think a lot. And we decided to find a solution. We aim to insulate at home so that there will be a great positive development both financially and for our environment. In addition, I would like to address a problem that I noticed in myself. I have a habit which is using electronic devices into sleep mode and never turns them off. But this is actually a big problem. If you have such a habit, please give up. One of the biggest steps to reducing the carbon footprint is recycling. We always say that “no plastic bags”. We use fabric bags in our house with the girls. I would like to encourage you to use fabric bags or paper bags. let’s calculate your carbon footprint and look for ways to reduce it by observing yourself for a day. We have just 1 world and it is in our hands to live healthier and longer on it, let’s start 🙂
