The ecological (carbon) footprint shows how much resources we use compared to that what kind of earth we need for that nature restore our resources and absorbed emissions. Some advices on what to do to decrease your carbon footprint: • Become a vegetarian • Produce at home • Get it smart • Choose organic products • Save water • Buy wisely • Buy local products • Use the second time and recycle • Grow vegetables yourself

To decrease our carbon footprint or carbon production on individual level we need to calculate our individual carbon foot. The part where we produce most carbon foot should be our area of focus.

Our food should be simple and locally grown, non-processed. In order to consume local and fresh food we need to grow it by ourselves. Our electronics should be turned off when we are done with our work. Our bulbs should be replaced by the fluorescent lights. Our machines like computers, televisions and irons should not be turned on when are not in use. Wastage of food and water should be diminished. All the waste materials should be sent to recycling companies. Public transport should be the first priority while travelling. Air travel should also be minimized.

It is important for an individual to calculate his/her own carbon footprint in order to reduce it. It specifies the part where one’s attention should be drawn in order to make the target.

This is an interesting question because it reveals something unusual and kind of depressing about humans, generally. Many people are highly willing to make symbolic gestures in support of what they believe in, but struggle with the boring, practical minutiae of living out a practical example. The boring fact of the matter is, the most immediate, practical change any individual can make to reduce their impact on the environment is to fastidiously recycle, to reduce waste as far as possible and to endeavor to minimize their use of inefficient transport methods. Our individual efforts are meaningless in isolation but they add up to a great deal if pursued by many.

Individuals can do many things to reduce their carbon footprint, including eating and shopping locally, walking or biking instead of driving (when possible), driving carbon-friendly cars, eating fewer animal byproducts, flying less, recycling, reusing, installing solar panels, voting for bills that support the environment, patronizing environmentally-conscious businesses, and consuming fewer products that produce emissions. Any effort on and individual level to decrease our carbon footprint is helpful in the fight against climate change.
