Jak mohu snížit svou uhlíkovou stopu?

Climate change is one of the biggest challenges humanity has ever faced. And we all want to play our part in minimising the damage. Reducing our personal carbon footprint is one important step we can take. But what does the term ‘carbon footprint’ actually mean? What actions can we take? And will our individual efforts really make a difference in the bigger picture?

Co je uhlíková stopa?

Uhlíková stopa je pojem, který se často používá, když se mluví o změně klimatu a životním prostředí. Uhlíková stopa je celkové množství skleníkových plynů, včetně oxidu uhličitého a metanu, které vznikají při naší činnosti. Obvykle se s ní setkáváme v jednotkách tun CO2e (ekvivalent oxidu uhličitého). 

Průměrná uhlíková stopa člověka ve České republice je více než 10,5 tuny CO2e za rok. V celosvětovém měřítku se průměrná uhlíková stopa blíží 7 tunám, takže rozhodně musíme podniknout nějaké kroky, abychom tuto situaci řešili.

Take this quick quiz to estimate your carbon footprint - and discover how you could cut your carbon emissions and impact on our climate.

Reduce your personal carbon footprint

Reducing your carbon footprint is essential for a sustainable future. Fortunately, there are many ways to achieve this goal and have a positive impact on the planet. By making some changes to your daily routine, you can join the movement towards a cleaner and healthier world. Some of them are big lifestyle changes. Others are smaller, simpler adjustments for the better. 

But will it really make a difference?

Is it really worth it? After all, how much of an impact can one individual have, particularly compared to governments and global businesses? The truth remains, the world’s top 1% of emitters produce over 1,000 times more CO₂ than the bottom 1%. We are not all equally responsible for the climate crisis. 

Together, we can make a difference in reducing carbon emissions by making conscious lifestyle choices. While one person's actions may not seem significant, every small step we take towards creating a cleaner environment can lead to positive change.
