    First calculate your carbon footprint

• Your carbon footprint is the amount of greenhouse gases—including carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, fluorinated gases and others—that you produce as you live your life.

    Food

• Eat low on the food chain  meat and dairy—is responsible for 14.5 percent of manmade global greenhouse gas emission
• Choose organic and local foods that are in season
• Reduce your food waste by planning meals ahead of time, freezing the excess and reusing leftovers
• Organic produce contains more vitamins, minerals and antioxidants
  Their carbon footprint is also much smaller DGRPco

Avoid plastic packaging

• We know that single-use plastics are harmful for the environment
• they create pollution but the energy and fossil fuels involved in producing them

Go economy class

• Business class is responsible for almost three times as many emissions as economy because in economy, first class can result in nine times more carbon emissions than economy DGRPco

  Reduce Your Carbon Footprint From Driving

• When possible, walk or ride your bike in order to avoid carbon emissions completely. Carpooling and public transportation drastically reduce CO2 emissions by spreading them out over many riders.

 Reduce Your Carbon Footprint From Food

• Supporting local farmers is a great way to reduce your carbon footprint. Buying locally lowers your dependence on food transported vast distances and may increase your intake of fresh fruits and vegetables, helping offset your carbon emissions.

 Offsetting Your Carbon Footprint

• Carbon offsetting allows you to compensate for the carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions you produce by reducing emissions somewhere else DGRPco
