Stuff You Should've Learned at School but Probably Didn't

Easy ways to help stop climate change

A couple easy things you can do to reduce your personal carbon footprint :)

• unplug devices when they're fully charged

• turn of lights when you don't need them/aren't in the room with them

• don't leave the fridge open for too long

• start a compost pile for all food you don't finish

• carpool, use public transit, walk, or ride a bike when possible (also saves gas money)

• use reusable bags and water bottles when possible

• turn off faucets/showers/etc when not in use

• shorten your showers

• don't buy things you don't need/won't use (happiness counts as a need, but if you buy a dress than never wear it, that's a waste of material)

• donate old things when possible! instead of throwing out clothes, give them to others so they don't go to waste

• use less packaging when possible (buy things with les plastic wrapped around them)

• buy non-perishable foods in bulk when possible (less packaging and won't go bad)

• when you order takeout, don't get the plastic silverware, just use the silverware you have at home (if you have any)

• start a garden and grow some of your own food organically

• if you can, go vegan or vegetarian. if you can't, try to at least cut down your beef consumption

• if possible, buy used goods (clothes, cars, etc) instead of new ones. they're usually cheaper and just as nice, plus they lower your carbon footprint!

• try to fix things when they break instead of just buying a new one (also saves money)

See if you can implement two or three of these into your lifestyle! You won't regret it! Also, if anyone would like me to do a more in-depth explanation of how climate change actually works, I'd be happy to do my best to explain it simply.
