If you own your home, you can drastically reduce your carbon.

  • installing solar to take energy off the grid
  • install a heat pump to generate heat and cool off of electricity
    • even if your grid is pure coal, this is still more efficient than burning your own gas
    • you can keep a gas furnace as a backup, look up "dual-fuel" systems
  • take transit whenever possible
  • if you are in a car dependent area, look into e-bikes and EVs. Even replacing just your commuter car can have huge impacts, you don't have to replace them all.
