Things we can do from our end to avert climate change:
#1 Avoiding food waste: Only buy what you need. One-third of all food produced is wasted.
#2 Conserve water: It takes a lot of energy to clean water, pump it out to buildings, and pump the wastewater back to be cleaned again. That energy use leads to greenhouse gas emissions.
#3 Eat less meat and more plant-based foods:
Cutting back on meat, dairy, and eggs could reduce carbon emissions by almost 60%.
#4 Compost uneaten food: Instead of sending it to a landfill where it releases methane when it decomposes, turn it into manure since methane is a greenhouse gas that's 28–34 times more potent than carbon dioxide over a 100-year period.
