How To Be Greener In 2022

• With so much going on in the world of late, your
  priorities might have shifted away from reducing
  your carbon footprint, but actually, the time has
  never been better for doing your bit to limit
  your negative impact not just on the environment
  around you, but on the world, as a whole.
• Why not make 2022 the year that you start making
  a difference to live, think and act, in a greener
  way? If you like the idea, here are few ways that
  you can achieve it

• Eat seasonally
• Responsible for as much as a ¼ of the worlds
  greenhouse gas emissions, food production is a
  great place to start when trying to live more
  responsible, and by buying locally sourced,
  seasonal produce, you can reduce transportation
  and import emissions.
• Feed your soil
• Composting your food scraps can help your soil,
  and in turn, your plants, and with around 30 of
  food waste ending up in landfills every year, you
  can help to reduce that statistic, and the need
  for chemical fertilizers, by turning your scraps
  into food for your soil.

• Limit your water consumption
• Low-flow shower heads and small actions like
  turning the faucet off when you brush your teeth,
  can all help to reduce your water consumption.
• Say no to plastics
• Reusable bottles are the single most effective
  way that we can all help to reduce the amount of
  plastic that ends up as garbage or litter every
  year, along with using as little plastic as
  possible in all other areas of our lives, too.

5

• Harness the power of the sun by going solar
• More and more homeowners and businesses alike are
  choosing to invest in energy and planet-saving
  solar power systems, helping to drastically
  reduce the use of harmful fossil fuels, and
  enabling them to make significant savings on
  their energy bills.
• When compared with fossil fuel generators, PV
  solar panels produce far lower lifecycle levels
  and harmful pollutants, such as sulphur dioxide
  and nitrogen oxides.

6

• Go slow on fashion
• Fast fashion uses production processes that are
  far more harmful to the environment than you
  might think, and the fashion industry alone is
  responsible for 10 of all carbon emissions,
  globally. To slow your fashion down and become
  greener, try buying more used and environmentally
  conscious clothing, of which there are many more
  options today, than ever before.
• Make your home truly weatherproof
• Sealing leaks in your home to keep heat in and
  upgrading your windows are just two ways that you
  can make your home resistant to all weather
  conditions, and limit the amount of energy your
  household wastes every year.

• Rack of lamb, anyone? Can I take a rain check?
• Research has shown that not eating meat for as
  little as 30 days can reduce carbon emissions,
  and who knows, you might even feel healthier for
  it, too?
• Be green with your gifts
• When it comes to birthdays, holidays and
  anniversaries, try to give gifts that are
  eco-friendly, and as well as receiving a
  thoughtful, green gift, the recipients may even
  be encouraged to go green themselves!

• Living greener doesnt have to be complicated or
  particularly difficult, and while some of the
  most effective carbon-reducing measures, such as
  going solar, may require a little investment,
  they will absolutely pay dividend over the years.
