How to reduce your emissions My Carbon Footprint How to reduce your emissions

Home Emissions Our estimated greenhouse gas emissions is 17 tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) equivalent per year, which is below the U.S. national average.

Step 1: Buy organic and local There's a better chance the food was grown in an eco-friendly way, and if it's locally grown, it didn't have to travel that far..

Step 2: Ditch bottled water Bottled water has a huge carbon footprint — it's bottled at one location in small plastic bottles and shipped all over. Try buying a reusable water bottle or canteen for your water.

Energy-proof your home Step 3: Energy-proof your home We're not talking major upgrades here... Make sure all of your windows close properly and that the attic in your home is properly insulated. Also, keep your heating and cooling systems properly maintained, and switch to reusable filters when possible.

Step 4: Unplug it! Unplug appliances that you don't use frequently. Most electronics have a standby mode that siphons energy even when not in use. Cell phone chargers, laptops, televisions, stereos — there's a whole list of items that should be unplugged when not in use.
