Prevention

Try to reduce your daily energy consumption. Switch off unnecessary lights, electrical appliances and use energy-efficient equipment.

Instead of driving, choose to walk or cycle. This not only reduces CO2 emissions, but also contributes to your health.

Limit the time you spend in the shower, fix leaky taps and use water-saving devices. Every drop makes a difference.

Reducing your meat intake, especially red and processed meat, can significantly reduce your carbon footprint. A plant-based diet is good for both your health and the environment.

Segregate rubbish and reduce consumption of disposable products. Try to repair items instead of throwing them away and buying new ones.

Buy produce from local suppliers and choose seasonal fruit and vegetables. This helps to reduce emissions associated with long-distance transport.

Choose products and services from companies that are committed to the environment.

Participate in local and global environmental campaigns, educate yourself and others about climate change and its impacts.

If possible, invest in renewable energy sources such as solar panels to reduce dependence on fossil fuels.

Use a thermostat to regulate the temperature, insulate your home to reduce the need for heating and cooling and use natural light.

Support nature conservation by planting trees, establishing wildlife-friendly gardens and participating in conservation programmes.

There has already been talk of moving short distances - how you travel long distances is very important. Choose public transport, trains instead of planes and plan journeys that are less harmful to the environment.
