The average American generates about 24 tons of CO2 emissions per year. This Earth Day, try cutting back with some of these tips:
- Check your tires. Keeping your car’s tires properly inflated can reduce your carbon footprint by 400-700 pounds a year.
- Eat less meat. Completely eliminating meat from your diet can save approximately 3,000 pounds of CO2 during the year.
- Drive with care. By accelerating slowly, maintaining a steady speed, and anticipating stops earlier so you don’t have to slam on the brakes, you can cut carbon emissions by more than a ton.
