To achieve this global goal of carbon neutrality, each individual must follow the sustainable practices into their daily lives. Here are some of the sustainable practices to be followed by an individual to lead this global goal to its target.

It refers to the amount of impact of an individual or organization on the environment in terms of how many tons of greenhouse gases, like methane and carbon dioxide are produced by their activities in a year. One can reduce their carbon footprint simply by reducing the amount of transportation they use, drive efficiently and less where ever possible. Use of the green vehicles, reduce the use of cooling and heating machines, washing machines and switch to laundry, and use only less amount of electronics, application of 3R strategy, eat less meat and animal products and reduce food waste are some of the measures one can easily apply in their daily life to reduce their carbon footprint.

Although applying all the measures one cannot completely reduce the footprint in this case, the only way to truly become carbon neutral is to balance out remaining emissions through carbon offsetting, or contributing financially to projects decrease greenhouse gas levels in the atmosphere. It is a easy to do and can be quite affordable for individuals with many projects costing less than USD 15 per ton. One can start offsetting their emissions by checking out many excellent projects available through the offset store.
