Climate change refers to long-term shifts in temperature and weather patterns, primarily caused by human activities like burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes, which release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.

You can reduce your carbon footprint by using energy-efficient appliances, driving less, eating a plant-based diet, reducing waste, and supporting renewable energy initiatives.

Common recyclable items include paper, cardboard, glass, metals, and certain plastics. Items like greasy pizza boxes, plastic bags, and electronics often require special recycling processes. Check your local recycling guidelines for specifics.

Composting reduces landfill waste, lowers greenhouse gas emissions, and creates nutrient-rich soil that can improve plant growth and reduce the need for chemical fertilizers

Renewable energy sources include solar, wind, hydro, geothermal, and biomass energy. These sources are sustainable and produce little to no greenhouse gas emissions.  

Fix leaks, use water-efficient fixtures, collect rainwater, and practice mindful habits like turning off the tap while brushing your teeth or washing dishes.
