ONE SMALL STEP FOR MAN, ONE GIANT CARBON FOOTPRINT FOR MANKIND
We've all seen the sign at beautiful spots around the world which entreats us to please take only photographs and leave only footprints.But if it's carbon footprints we're leaving, then we want to leave as small a footprint as possible !
A carbon footprint is the measure of the impact that our activities have on the environment, particularly climate change.It's the measurement of all the greenhouse gases that we produce in our day to day lives by the burning of fossil fuels for transport, power, heating etc and is measured in tonnes of carbon dioxide.
According to research, each person living in the US and Australia new emits over five tonnes of carbon dioxide each year.Australia has only 0.32 per cent of the world’s population, yet contributes 1.43% of its carbon emissions.
There are many things that individuals can do differently that will help reduce our carbon footprint.What we choose to eat, how we get to work, what we throw away to where we buy our ink cartridges, we can all make changes for a better world.
Home electricity use in the average Australian home produces around seven tonnes of greenhouse gases every year.Replace lightbulbs with energy-saving fluorescent bulbs and turn off appliances and lights when they aren't being used.Central heating and geysers should be turned down a couple of degrees, and dishwashers and washing machines should only be run on a full load to save water, electricity and washing powder.
An average car releases over 2kgs of CO2 for every litre of fuel, translating into four tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions a year.There's public transport, a bicycle or even better, your own two legs !
Grain and nut foods with the same nutritional value and beef and cheese account for between five and ten times less emissions than beef or cheese production.Reducing consumption of dairy products such as milk, cheese and yoghurt, can result in savings of up to three tonnes of greenhouse gases per year.Buying fresh or dried foods is also preferable, because less energy is required than for the preparation and packaging of tinned or bottled food.
Obviously, transporting food and other products consumes a lot of fuel, so wherever possible, buy local, especially from farmers’ markets and organic outlets.
Reduce, recycle and reuse.And if you want to be really carbon smart, then buying printer cartridges online from Earthink is a good green choice.Earthink is a web-based supplier of printer consumables and ink cartridges, which contributes part proceeds of all sales to Carbon Neutral, a non profit organisation which plants trees to absorb CO2.Making an adjustment to the way you purchase printer cartridges is a small step, but it can mean a huge step forward towards reducing your carbon footprint!
