Cool Facts About Climate Change and Related Solutions

An average car emits approximately a POUND of carbon dioxide for every mile driven. And a light truck or SUV emits a little MORE than a pound every mile. Say you go to the grocery store every week and it's 10 miles away from your house. That's 20 miles roundtrip, multiplied by 52 weeks in a year-that's 1,040 pounds of carbon dioxide you have contributed to the atmosphere all by yourself, merely to get your groceries!

carSolution: Walk, ride a bike, or carpool when you can. Commit to not driving your car three days a month.

Solution: Buy produce and goods from local farmers and craftspeople. The fewer products that need to be shipped on trucks, the less fossil fuels will be burned to get far away items to your stores.
