Who knew dimming the lights, and lighting our favourite candles on those calm and romantic evenings made a difference? They did, and with Earth Day around the corner, it is always the right time to reflect on how we leave our carbon footprint on our beautiful planet. We happen to live in a country (Canada) that has decreased its total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions over the last 20 years, but there is always room for improvement with our individual contributions to these numbers. These are some ways you can help to reduce your personal carbon footprint in your daily life routines:
1. Sharing Transportation - calling a pooled cab or taking public transit to your next destination helps keep streets quiet and less polluted with gas emissions
2. Support Local Businesses - big or small, supporting local businesses helps limit transportation and urban sprawl, while growing our closest communities including jobs and homes
3. Unplug Appliances - unplug appliances, devices, and chargers when not in use to preserve electrical energy for times when it's most needed
4. Use Reusable Cutlery & Tools - making the conscious choice to reuse cutlery and tools helps reduce waste, and promotes material recycling
5. Light an Eco-Friendly Candle - reduce the use of unnecessary lighting by using eco-friendly candles in your home and spaces daily
