How do I reduce my carbon footprint

 

Assalamualaikum everyone, today I'm gonna talk about carbon footprint that I just learned in my previous UNGS class. Honestly, that was the first time I heard about carbon footprint terms. Firstly, I did some research on dictionary of Google 😂 to find the exact definition of carbon footprint. Literally carbon footprint can be defined as the total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions caused by an individual, event, organization, service, or product, expressed as carbon dioxide equivalent- Wikipedia. So to be more understandable, all human activities including per person that caused greenhouse gas emissions can be stated as carbon footprint.

 

 

Secondly, although I did some actions of carbon footprints, I had still manage to try reduce it and maybe some of you guys did it too or at least have intentions to do so but did not. So this is some ways that I did which are:-

Drive less

Instead of using my own vehicles such as cars or motorcycles, sometimes I would like to prefer public transportation for instance LRT and buses. And maybe you can try carpooling and rideshare method that will save your money and time more. 

Turn off lights and unplug devices when I'm not using them

Switch lights off when I leave the room and unplug my electronic devices when they are not in use.

 Use my Reusable bags

Sometimes when my mom did her shopping , she will bring her reusable bags for example IKEA bags because there will be tons of things she will buy. I know this is not my ways to reduce carbon footprint but I still managed to not use plastic bag every time I buy things that not necessary to put a plastic bag.

So that is some of my ways to reduce carbon footprint althought it just 3, maybe after this I will try another ways after I read some of them before this but does not have a chance to do it. To conclude, sadly carbon footprints will always be there but we have to make any possibility initiatives to reduce it and reduce earth temperature respectively. So thank and see you in other blogs.
