We are constantly bombarded with news about environmental issues, such as global warming and the humongous cost of our increasing carbon footprint! To ensure that we leave a habitable earth for future generations, it is important that we lead a sustainable lifestyle.
As there is growing awareness of the environmental impact of our daily actions, it is high time we seriously start working on reducing our carbon footprint.

Reducing car trips and using public transportation whenever possible, is a good way to get started on this path. Walk (or bike) rather than drive to run errands is a great way to include some exercise along with reducing carbon consumption. Though walking/cycling is not always possible, particularly in tough weather conditions or in remote areas, where homes, stores and offices are located at long distances from each other.
In such instances, you can easily club various errands together to reduce the overall number of trips you need to make. This will not only reduce your carbon consumption but also save you time. Getting organized and systematically addressing chores like ‘running errands’ will improve your overall efficiency. As you start getting structured to lead a greener life, you will bring these new, improved habits to other areas of your life.
Always remember that the best and surest way to reduce your carbon footprint is to make small changes at a time. This way, you will allow yourself some time to assimilate the new environmentally conscious way of life. Over time, a green way of living will become the ‘new normal’.
