Simple Things You Can Do To Fight Climate Change
- Use more public transport or preferably walk places instead of driving when possible
- Save energy by drying clothes outdoors when you can (depending on weather etc.)
- Unplug things when you’re not using them! This one is so easy but can save lots of energy
- Try to lower how much food you’re wasting, and whenever you’re able to buy foods locally and keep an eye out for organic foods
- Reuse plastic bags, bottles etc. OR even better buying reusable items instead of plastic ones you’ll throw out the same day
- This one isn’t very simple for most people, but if you think you’re up for trying out being vegetarian or even vegan it can really help reduce greenhouse gas emissions - If you don’t want to go all out for this though, even cutting back on how much meat and dairy you buy can make a huge difference
- Turning off the tap when you’re not using it - I think we’re all guilty of leaving the tap running while you’re brushing your teeth, but simply remembering to turn taps of when you’re not using them can be a huge help!
- Instead of always going for brand-new clothes, consider getting your clothes second hand every now and again
- Replace your light bulbs with energy-efficient light bulbs
- Get active! - Getting involved in raising awareness is one of the biggest helps you can do. All around the world there are strikes and marches being done, and it is one of the best feelings to go and feel truly part of something bigger than yourself, so get out there and start planning how you could contribute! :)
