Tips on Kicking the CO2 Habit

My previous post was about world environment day, where the theme was kicking the CO2 habit. We all know the general examples, but do we know how much we can cut back on? Here are the tips straight from the UN on how to start!

1. Stop using an electric alarm clock! Using a wind-up clock instead saves 48 grams of CO2 a day.

2. Simply hanging clothes out to dry instead of using a tumble dryer is a whopping 2.3kg of CO2 saved each load!

3. For fellow travelers, it is said that world savings would be 2 million tonnes a year if every airline passenger cut the weight of baggage to below 20 kg and bought duty free goods on arrival! I’m guilty of over 20kg, but I still try and carry as little as possible.

4. Using a non-electric toothbrush is already 48 grams a day saved!

5. If you take a train to work instead of a car, you’ll save around 200 grams per kilometer.

6. Heating bread rolls in a toaster rather than in the oven for 15 minutes saves 170 grams of CO2 each time.

It’s time to kick that habit and practice some of these tips!
