So I’m failing at lots of things - I still have to drive (a hybrid) as there’s no public transport to work and I’m not giving up electricity and heating! But I’ve been utterly shocked by the rate of climate change - things happening that I thought my kids or their kids would be dealing with are happening now.
So here are the changes I’m making
I’m carbon offsetting - monthly DD to the Woodland trust’s carbon offset scheme
I’m just going to stop buying so much STUFF - my house is overflowing with stuff and i don’t need any more
Reduce my meat, especially red meat, consumption.
Using Ecosia as my search engine
I’m a terrible gardener, but am thinking of putting in some raised beds so we can grow some veg and herbs to reduce food miles.
Got reusable plastic lids to go on bowls etc instead of cling film
Metal straws instead of plastic
Swapping over to bars of soap instead of plastic bottles
We already recycle everything our local council will take and take our own bags shopping etc.
What other changes are people making that can make a difference?
