Lake City, Colo., Dec. 02, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The holidays are a time to come together, sip hot chocolate, and reflect on the past year—or perhaps jump into a giant pile of leaves or build a snowman. There are so many traditions that make this season special. But even the moments that bring us joy can have an impact on the environment.
Consider the recently celebrated Thanksgiving holiday: According to AAA, 80 million people traveled 50 miles or more from home, with 89% of those people traveling by car. That’s a lot of traffic—and a lot of carbon emissions. So, how can we reduce our carbon footprint while still keeping the joy of the holiday season alive?
One easy way is to carpool with the whole clan when traveling. Most of the time, it’s more environmentally friendly to drive than to fly. In fact, taking just one long flight can produce the equivalent of 14% of your car’s annual emissions. Another way to make an impact is by consuming less. Consider purchasing fewer goods and gifts, reusing holiday decorations year after year, and swapping traditional lights for energy-efficient holiday lighting. Small changes like these can help you celebrate the season while reducing your environmental impact.
For the carbon emissions you can’t eliminate, carbon offsets provide a practical solution. Carbon offsets allow us to mitigate emissions as we work toward a net-zero carbon economy.
