SOROPTIMISTS Women Inspiring Action, Transforming Lives It doesn’t seem two minutes since our last report but here we are again – and busier than ever. Like they say, time flies when you’re having fun! This month we have been giving more attention to climate change. It’s our organisation’s main thrust this year so we’re seeing what small changes we can do to make a big impact. 1. Reduce emissions: Use your car less, whenever possible. 2. Save energy: By being careful how we use home appliances, we can save energy and, of course, money at the end of the month. 3. Put the 3 R’s of sustainability into practice: Reuse, Recycle, Reduce 4. What about your diet? Eat low-carbon. Eat food that is local and in season: read the label and eat food that is produced in the area, avoid imports which create more emissions due to transportation. Also, eat seasonal items, to avoid less sustainable production methods. Avoid excessive packaging and processed foods as much as possible. 5. Act against forest loss: Plant a tree! Throughout its life, it can absorb up to a ton of CO2. 6. Make demands from the government: Demand that they take measures toward a more sustainable life.
