Reducing Your Carbon Footprint

 
 

Your carbon footprint is essentially the amount of carbon dioxide that is released due to your consumption of fossil fuels through your everyday habits such as driving, using electricity, and relying on products you purchase in the store. While CO2 emission is an unavoidable part of life, what many people don’t know is that there are numerous ways to reduce your carbon footprint – some of which you may already be doing without even realizing it. A reduced carbon footprint is a great thing for everyone involved. Not only is it good for the environment, but it can help you save a little money too.
There are several small adjustments that you can make to your daily life to help reduce your carbon footprint. For example, you can:

  • Carpool – Carpooling reduces the emission of carbon dioxide by spreading it out over more drivers, which can lead to cleaner air for everyone. As an added bonus, carpooling can help you save a little money on gas too.
  • Turn off the lights when you leave a room – You may have heard this advice time and time again from your parents when you were younger. Turning off the lights you’re not using helps to save energy, and can have a significant impact on your electric bill over time. And, speaking of lights, replacing incandescent light bulbs with LED or compact fluorescent ones can also be a big money-saver and CO2-saver.
  • Keep your thermostat at a comfortable temperature – Try not to set your thermostat too high in the winter or too low in the summer so that your air conditioner and heater are not forced to run constantly. To go the extra mile, you can turn the AC to a higher temperature when you’re not home, or open the windows when the weather outside is cool.
  • Recycle – Recycling plastic, glass, and other recyclable materials can help keep unnecessary waste out of landfills. Buying and reselling unwanted items is also a great money saver, and can help reduce your carbon footprint by cutting down on your provision of goods, which is essentially the manufacturing, packaging, and transportation of non-food items.

By following these simple tips, you can help to dramatically reduce the size of your carbon footprint at our Alachua, FL apartments, which you’ll surely appreciate when you see the positive impact you are having on the environment and your wallet. These tips can help you get even more out of life at One 51 Place apartments. To learn about the benefits of living in our community, contact us today.
