Buy Less, Reduce Waste

Everything you buy from a store, from radishes to hairclips, required energy to grow or extract, manufacture, package, transport and sell. By finding ways to curb consumption, you can lower your carbon footprint. For example, fixing a broken item instead of throwing it away saves the energy that was required to produce the item. Look for specialist repair shops in your area, or learn a new skill yourself, such as furniture upholstery or renovation.
