With industrialization and careless handling of toxic waste, our greenhouse gasses have been affected drastically. A dramatic increase is carbon emission is just one of the major causes of this problem. One great example of carbon emission is the burning of fossil fuels, smokes from gas-powered vehicles, and the like. However, even farming is now becoming a contributor of carbon emission with the chemicals farmers are using to grow their crops.

Despite of the modern lifestyle that we are in right now, we can be proactive about it by doing our part. We can reduce carbon emission in small ways.

One of this is the use of bike instead of our smoke belching vehicles for short trips.
For our kitchen produce needs, we can sourced it locally so that suppliers need not to ride on trains, planes, and the like just to have the produce into our fridges. This can also be a call to local businesses and business owners to have their produced locally sourced.
Organic farming for farmers is ideal. Meats can be sustainable if growers are responsible enough in feeding their animals naturally.

These can be a small action but if we work together on it, this can create a huge impact to the environment.
