Most of the people I’ve talked to over the past few decades have become or are in some way more environmentally conscious. Indeed, the way humanity shaped its surroundings is due to the environmental impact. And sometimes, a seemingly simple measure to conserve can have a very positive effect on nature in turn. If you want to, you can do much more. Here are six lifestyle changes that can help the environment.
Use the Car Less
One of the simple measures to save the environment is to reduce the amount of time you spend behind the wheel. This is probably the simplest change you can make. By doing so, you can reduce your carbon footprint and feel healthier, too. There’s nothing to lose – how can you achieve this goal? First, walking is a good option for short commutes. At least for a while, you can work from home if you can. Also, you can use public transportation if possible or take a ride with a bike to work.
Reduce Meat Consumption
As a food, meat is an essential commodity and a good source of protein. And it tastes good. However, red meat, such as from bulls and cows, can produce many climate-altering gases, such as methane. While I’m not advocating that we stop eating red meat, I can imagine that a slight reduction could have a significant impact. There are many well-documented health benefits of a low red meat diet.
