Absorbing less in Energy Use

Lower Your Carbon Footprint

Reducing energy consumption is a simple yet effective way to decrease your carbon footprint. We often use energy-hungry devices like refrigerators and washing machines without really considering the impact. Here are some simple tricks to lower your energy use:

• Switch to energy-efficient lighting
• Use natural light
• Turn off appliances when not in use
• Consider energy-efficient appliances

Using energy-efficient light bulbs like LEDs can save you significant amounts of energy. For instance:

Light Bulb Type	Efficacy
Incandescent Bulb	16 Lumens/Watt
Halogen Bulb	20-30 Lumens/Watt
LED Bulb	50-100 Lumens/Watt

Reducing Waste and Recycling

Single-use plastics continue to plague our planet. Bringing reusable bags, containers, and straws to grocery stores and restaurants reduces the environmental impact. Adding up to 8 months of plastic use is generated just by a single use of plastic bag. By adopting these simple practices we are not only conserving non-renewable resources but also significantly reducing waste. Food waste can be significantly reduced by reducing food packaging consumption. Try meal prepping, buying in bulk, and planning meals to avoid buying unnecessary item. Join local share programs or organizations that distribute unspoiled or approaching expiration products.
