Everyone has a vital role yin the fight against climate change: governments, companies and people. As UN Secretary-General António Guterres mentions, “our world needs climate action on all fronts: everything, everywhere, all at once”. We cannot change the world individually, but we can do a lot together. It all starts with our everyday actions. We leave here six suggestions to change your lifestyle and contribute to limiting the earth’s temperature increase to 1.5ºC.
✅ Travel green – Embracing low-carbon transport when going on holiday can reduce emissions by around two per cent.
✅ Eat green – A shift to a mostly plant-based diet, combined with eliminating household food waste, would deliver 12 per cent of the total savings needed by North American and European countries.
✅ Dress green – Limiting yourself to buying three or fewer new items a year would deliver six per cent of the total savings needed. That means rummaging around in vintage shops more, and getting garments repaired.
✅ Green commute – Reducing vehicle ownership would deliver two per cent of the total savings needed by 2030.
✅ Greener technology – Extending the lifetime of electronics, so they are used for at least seven years would deliver three per cent of the total savings needed.
✅ Embrace the green – To influence the remaining 73 per cent of emissions that are out of their direct control, citizens could take action that encourages and supports industry and government to make the high impact societal changes that are urgently needed. greenviu is playing its part in medicine, influencing healthcare professionals to lower their impact on the planet.
