  • You can buy carbon credits to offset your carbon emissions.
  • Spend a little to recycle or dispose of rubbish and chemicals properly.For example it is important to dispose/recycle air conditioners and fridges properly as they contain potent green house gases.
  • Invest in green energy.Your electricity supplier is likely to have a green energy option.

How does it help?

  • Rain forest consumes large amounts of carbon dioxide,particularly tropical rain forest.
  • Carbon credits are associated with planting trees which also consume carbon dioxide.
  • Correct disposal of rubbish and chemicals helps the environment which in turn helps more C02 to be absorbed.
  • Green energy has little carbon emissions associated with it.Typically the extra money that is earned from a green energy option goes into the funding of new green energy projects such as wind and solar energy farms.When they are finished they are connected to the electricity grid.

Other advantages

  • Rainforest not only provides life giving oxygen for animals but supports a large number of plants and animals.It is extremely important to us for medical reasons and is simply just beautiful.It is much more valuable to people protected than cut down.
  • Correct disposal of rubbish makes sure that less chemicals etc. enter our food and water supply,making us healthier.
  • Green energy minimizes pollution in general leading to longer,happier lives for all people.
