The best thing you can do to lower your carbon footprint is to use less energy, and to use energy more efficiently. This means that you should make sure you keep the thermostat on the chilly side in the winter, and the toasty side in the summer. It also means making sure you turn off all appliances when they’re not in use.

That would make life uncomfortable, though. Any other ideas?
user
Well, if you think about it, life in the past was also pretty uncomfortable, before modern heating and lighting. It was especially uncomfortable during the middle of winter, and during the night. But we managed to survive.

Yes, but I don't want to live uncomfortably. What are some other small things I can do to lessen my carbon footprint?
