My Impact on Climate Change


I've been talking about how you can make a difference in climate change, but I haven't really talked about the difference I've made fighting climate change. In our house, we always make sure to save energy, by keeping lights off and fridges closed. We try our best not to use too much electricity buy switching sockets off when not in use, as well as turning off appliances such as washing machines and clothing dryers. We have 4 bins for each of the recycling bins, and use them accordingly.

As a family, what we do alone won't make a big impact, but even if a few hundred thousand homes, went on a meat-free diet, or didn't waste electricity, the work needed for climate change would decrease a lot. 35% of carbon emmisions is from buildings, meaning that we as humans are getting a part of fixing climate change wrong. However, this is easily changeable if we worked hard enough.
