What actions can I take to reduce global warming?
assistant
1. Reduce your consumption of energy by using energy-efficient appliances and turning off lights and electronics when not in use.
2. Use public transportation, carpool, ride a bike or walk when possible.
3. Reduce your consumption of meat and dairy, which produce more carbon emissions than plant-based proteins.
4. Cut down on waste by composting and recycling as much as possible.
5. Plant trees and encourage others to do the same – this will help remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
6. Reduce water usage by taking shorter showers, using low-flow shower heads, fix leaking taps and using a water-efficient washing machine.
7. Support renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind power, which create much fewer carbon emissions than energy from fossil fuels.
8. Advocate for governmental and business policies and investments that support sustainable energy sources.
