Most of the conversation around environmental change surrounds people reducing the things that they do at this current point in time. However, one thing that people tend to forget is that the real key to preventing climate change isn’t to reduce the things we do but rather to do more in order to offset the carbon footprint that we are leaving behind. That means if you eat beef, you can calculate the carbon footprint of that beef and do something or the other that can remove that amount of carbon from the atmosphere.
One tip that we can give you for this is that you should purchase carbon offsets. That includes things like grassland and the like. If you help to increase the number of forests in the world, you would be bringing two really major advantages into it. The first of these advantages is that the trees that are in this forest will absorb carbon and turn it into oxygen which will help the world become much healthier in the long run as well as in the short term which is not something that you would want to ignore.
The second benefit is that it can have a cooling effect on our planet. Forests cool the air down around them significantly, and that can help prevent global warming. Remember, if average global temperatures increase by even two percent, that could leave massive tracts of land unlivable which is obviously not something that anyone is ever going to end up wanting. We need to start taking these steps before it’s too late, because eventually a point might come where we won’t be able to do anything without a shadow of a doubt.
