Reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from electricity at home is essential. Here are ways to contribute to emissions reduction in these settings:
Energy Efficiency: Replace old appliances with energy-efficient models, such as LED lighting and Energy Star-rated ⭐️ devices. Ensure your home is well-insulated to reduce heating and cooling needs.
Renewable Energy: Install solar panels or participate in community solar programs to generate clean electricity on-site or purchase renewable energy from your utility company.
Smart Thermostats: Use programmable or smart thermostats to optimize heating and cooling, reducing energy consumption.
Energy Conservation: Turn off lights 💡and unplug chargers when not in use, and use power strips to cut off power to electronics drawing standby power.
Electric Vehicles: Consider an electric or hybrid vehicle for your next car 🚗, and install a home charging station if possible.
Green Transportation: Encourage family members to use public transportation whenever they can, carpooling, or 🚴♂️ cycling for commuting.
Reduce, Reuse, ♻️ Recycle: Minimize waste and recycle responsibly, as the production and disposal of materials contribute to GHG emissions.
Composting: Reduce organic waste by composting instead of sending it to landfills. Usually landfills burn 🔥 the waste using gas or electricity power and generate other emissions.
Let’s do our part in saving the planet, 1.5° is all it takes.
