It reduces your cost of living and can save thousands of kg’s of Green House Gases (GHG’s) per person, per year! Work from Home This is becoming increasingly common in today’s work- place. More people are tak- ing advantage of flex days, technology, and job sharing. Carpool or Bus Taking the bus to school/or work each day. 64% of stu- dents at UNBC drive to school every day ( That’s over 2000 people). If you can’t take the bus to school or work, UNBC has a ‘carpool’ pass available at a discount- ed rate of $21/month Buy Seasonal, and local foods The average food item travels about 2,000 km to get to the dinner table. A 40-ton trans- port truck realizes almost 5,000 kilograms of green- house gas emissions for one shipment of food - about the same amount as the average Canadian contributes in an entire year of driving. Buy Organic foods Organic framing practices are less dependent on fossil fuels and avoid chemical fertilizers. Eat Lower on the Food Chain You can produce 40,000 pounds of potatoes on one acre of prime agricultural land. But the same acre pro- duces only 250 pounds of meat. Buy Recycled or Rebuilt Items Almost any product can be made from recycled, reused or rebuilt materials. Anything from beautiful glass dinner ware, paper for school, or a starter for your vehicle. Recycling saves these mate- rials from going into the land- fill (see below) and saves on GHG emissions that would have been used to create brand-new products. Choose where you spend your money Conventional bankers, fund managers and _ brokers finance everything from pro- jects in developing nations to energy mega-projects here at home. Choosing and ethical fund that invests in energy efficient business strategies can benefit a lot more than your personal! bottom line. Use Energy wisely in your home. Buy energy efficient appli- ances, or use the appliances you have wisely. Appliances and lighting release about 17% of the GHG emissions from energy that are pro- duced by the average Canadian home. Hot water heating accounts for another 21%. Therefore, there are substantial reductions in GHG emissions to be gained by using more energy effi- cient appliances and water heaters . For example, flores- cent lights use 60-80% less energy and last 10 to 20 times longer than standard incandescent bulbs. Compost your Waste Across Canada, landfill sites release more than 18,000 kilotonnes of GHC per year. Of the average of 2.2 kg of waste per person per day that Canadians generate, waste products are most often sent to landfill sites or incinerated. Both of these practices con- tribute to climate change. When waste is incinerated, stored energy is released into the air in the form of GHGs and other toxic air emissions. When wasie is sent to a land- fill, organic matter decompos- es more slowly, and methane - a powerful greenhouse gas- is released instead. Source: www.climate- changesolutions.com Organic
