Reduce Your Carbon Footprint

Why should you reduce your carbon footprint? Since the beginning of time the presence of Carbon Dioxide in the atmosphere has been necessary to warm the earth. However, the more we have progressed in technology, the more energy we use on a regular basis. The activities that we take part in that release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere are what make up our carbon footprint.  Now there is an argument for too much of a good thing. We need the carbon dioxide to keep everything from freezing, but it has become necessary to moderate the amount we emit so that we can do our part to suppress global warming.

Many of us have listened to endless political debates over what is causing climate change but thus far we have not seen much action towards alleviating the problem. The other night I was able to tune into The Vice Presidential Debate for a bit and when asked about climate change and energy efficiency, Sarah Palin’s response really got me thinking. She had a complete disinterest in wasting time debating why the problem existed but was more concerned about coming up with a solution. (More Info…) Going along with that principle, I am more interested in taking initiative and doing my part to positively affect the climate crisis than waiting around for a bunch of politicians in D.C. to come up with a plan they can agree on implementing. We should be Proactive, not passive, but how? At Reduce we make it simple to reduce your carbon footprint in everyday life. All of our products provide for a more energy efficient lifestyle; from our WaterWeek Reusable Bottles to my personal favorite, the BAGit Trash Can.
