What Can You do?

  • Consider powering your home(s) and or your business operation with solar energy.
  • Opt for energy-efficient technical devices and LED light bulbs.
  • Save energy by switching off devices that are not in use.
  • If you use air condition, consider increasing the temperature a little. One degree can reduce significantly the carbon dioxide emissions.
  • Reduce waste, especially single-use plastic.
  • Encourage your Waakye-seller to serve the food on leaves.
  • Try to reuse what is still in good condition, repair, or become creative in giving your waste a second life.
  • If possible, compost your bio-digestible waste. Only send non-compostable trash to the landfill.
  • Whenever possible, opt for reusable glass bottles than plastic bottles or aluminum cans.
  • Eat less meat and dairy products as their production emits much more greenhouse gases than plant-based food.
  • Reduce CO2 emission through buying regional food produce transported over short distances from the farm gate.
  • If possible, reduce the use of concrete in your house as concrete has a high carbon cost.
  • If possible, plant a tree, a hedge or other plants in your house. A tree can absorb approximately 2.9 t CO2 in its life-time.
  • Consider permeable surfaces (e.g. grass, gravels, etc.) instead of cementing the courtyard. It also helps rainwater to drain quickly and prevents flooding.
  • If possible, drive less. Consider to walk short distances or use a bicycle.
  • When you are driving try to avoid unnecessary braking and acceleration. Aggressive driving can result in 40% higher fuel consumption than consistent, calm driving.
  • Take care of your car: When tires are rightly inflated it can increase fuel efficiency. Also remove extra weight from your car.
