What is the carbon footprint?
We are talking about carbon footprint to refer to the number of emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases what the every person, company, product, etc. is released into the atmosphere. Each home in Spain emits an average of 12.5 tons of greenhouse gases per year, most of which comes from the consumption we do at home: electricity, gas, gasoline. Because installation of solar panels it can be very beneficial.
Together we can reduce our impact through individual actions that, although they may seem small, are essential!
How can I help reduce my home\’s carbon footprint?
- Unplug all appliances you don\’t use often.: Some of the electrical appliances that we have in our house consume more energy than you think, and it is not necessary for them to be connected in all cases. For example, with mobile chargers it is better to unplug the phone once it is charged.
- clean the fridge: We usually don\’t give importance to this appliance because we think that plugging it in is enough to maintain it, but that\’s not the case. The more plastic bags and packages in the fridge, the more energy you will generate, as the appliance needs more power to cool the food.
- Use public transport or a zero-emission vehicle: Taking measures such as using public transport, riding a bicycle, electric scooter or walking helps to reduce CO2 emissions by more than 40% per year. If you have a car or are thinking of buying one, it\’s time to switch to an electric version, as there are more help to purchase it from the town halls and more and more charging points are being put in place, like our PARK
- recycle: There is no excuse, we are becoming more and more aware. For example, supermarkets no longer distribute plastic bags for free and offer ecological alternatives such as recycled paper bags and bulk products, so at home we must not forget to separate the garbage: glass, paper and cardboard, organic and plastic. their use) or take damaged batteries and electronic devices to recycling points designated for this purpose.
