Reducing your carbon footprint without changing your life
Sarah JenkinsThe Micro-Action Approach
The climate crisis is overwhelming, and it's easy to feel like individual actions don't matter. But structural change begins with aggregated micro-actions.
You don't need to go off-grid or buy a $80,000 EV to make a difference.
The Commute Hack
If you commute 20km each way, you emit roughly 2.5 tonnes of CO₂ per year just getting to work. By simply carpooling with one neighbour twice a week, you reduce your footprint by 20%.
It requires zero extra time. You're driving that route anyway. All it takes is the willingness to unlock the passenger door.
