But there are small changes that each of us can make at home that collectively will make a big difference. In addition to addressing climate change, these adjustments to our lives have the added benefit of protecting the environment and our health by reducing pollution, slowing depletion of scarce resources, and protecting biodiversity. Many of these tips also save you money, which is always a good thing!
