Top options for reducing carbon footprint

High-Impact Actions to Reduce Your Carbon Footprint

The following list details the amount of CO2​ (in metric tons) you can save annually by adopting each habit:

• Go Car-Free: Living without a personal car saves an impressive 2.04 t of CO2​.
• Switch to an Electric Vehicle: If going car-free isn’t an option, a battery electric car can reduce your footprint by 1.95 t.
• Avoid One Long-Haul Flight: Air travel is incredibly carbon-intensive. Skipping just one long-haul flight can save 1.68 t.
• Adopt Renewable Energy: Switching your home’s electricity to a renewable source can save you 1.6 t.
• Use Public Transportation: Opting for buses, trains, and subways over driving cuts your footprint by 0.98 t.

Making Your Home and Diet More Sustainable

• Improve Home Efficiency: Renovating your home to be more energy-efficient can save 0.895 t annually.
• Embrace a Vegan Diet: Adopting a vegan diet is one of the most effective personal actions you can take, saving 0.8 t per year by avoiding the emissions associated with meat and dairy production.
• Install a Heat Pump: For home heating and cooling, a heat pump is far more efficient than traditional systems, saving 0.795 t.
• Upgrade Your Cooking Equipment: Switching to more efficient cooking appliances can reduce your footprint by 0.65 t.
• Use Renewable-Based Heating: Sourcing your heat from renewable energy can save 0.64 t in emissions.

Even small changes, when adopted by millions of people, can have a cumulative impact. The fight against climate change is winnable, but it requires collective action and a commitment to progress, not perfection.
