Each action we take, no matter how small, forms a ripple that collectively shapes a sustainable tomorrow. To reduce our carbon footprints, we can practice the following:
Drive less (carpool); consider purchasing a hybrid/electric vehicle; avoid flying if possible (if you must, fly nonstop).
Eat less meat and stick with fruits, veggies, grains, and beans; choose organic and local foods in season; compost.
Buy only what you need when shopping; bring a reusable bag; buy from companies that are environmentally responsible and sustainable.
