Creating Carbon – Aware Global Citizens and Communities to protect earth
Why be "Carbon Aware"?
Climate Change
Carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases are major contributors to climate change. By being carbon aware, we can take steps to reduce our carbon footprint, which in turn helps mitigate the adverse effects of climate change, such as rising temperatures, extreme weather events, and sea-level rise.
Energy Efficiency
Reducing carbon emissions often involves improving energy efficiency, which can lead to cost savings for individuals and businesses. Energy-efficient technologies and practices help reduce energy bills and reliance on fossil fuels.
Health and Well Being
Lowering carbon emissions can result in improved air quality, leading to better health outcomes. Reduced air pollution is linked to fewer respiratory illnesses and a lower incidence of cardiovascular diseases.
Resource Conservation
Many carbon reduction strategies involve conserving resources such as water, raw materials, and land. This helps ensure the availability of essential resources for future generations.
Sustainable Development
Being carbon aware aligns with the principles of sustainable development, which seek to meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Sustainable practices contribute to long-term prosperity and well-being.
Regulatory Compliance
Governments around the world are implementing policies and regulations to limit carbon emissions. Being carbon aware helps individuals and businesses comply with these regulations and avoid potential legal and financial penalties.
