Our friends across the Atlantic bring us this very interesting and action-oriented article about reducing one’s carbon footprint. The author, Justin Rowlatt, and his family went “green” for an entire year and the results are going to be discussed on BBC’s One’s Panorama. The ten tips are:
1. Give Up Your Car
2. Insulate Your Home
3. Move the Electricity Meter from Under the Stairs
4. Start Composting
5. Eat More Veggies
6. Eat Less Meat
7. Use Washable Nappies (diapers)
8. Buy Energy-Saving Light Bulbs
9. Try to Fly Less
10. Turn Off the Taps
The article contains more information on each of the option but being vegetarian, I always like to point out the astonishing amount of energy farming animals use. According to the article, in England, cars produce 11% of country’s carbon emissions. Globally, farming animals produce 18% of the world’s carbon emissions.
