Question

i really need ways to reduce my familys carbon output.

Answer 1

In addition to the above answers...use less packaging materials, grow your own food, produce less garbage, never waste food, don&#039;t set fires or use the barbecue; plant trees.

Answer 2

Use less energy by turning the heat down during winter months and using the air conditioner less in the summer months.  Install more insulation in your home along with better windows and doors.  Use the new light bulbs that use less energy and if you have really old inefficient appliance update them with new energy efficient ones.  Plan trips so you drive less and ride share or public transportation whenever possible.  Walk and ride your bike more as well.  Plant a garden or buy your food at a farmers market - less transportation is required.  Recycle your cans, bottles, and papers and buy products with recycled content.  Compost you kitchen wastes (you can use the resulting mulch in your garden).  Get rid of your gas powered push mower for one that doesn&#039;t have an engine (the old style push mower).  Don&#039;t buy bottled water - use the tap and you&#039;ll save both the energy required to make the plastic bottle and the transportation to get it to your house.

Answer 3

Conserve energy: drive less, turn down heating, use less air conditioning.
