In a world increasingly tried by the deleterious<\/strong> actions<\/strong> of us men, it’s time to change our lifestyles<\/strong>, to choose to protect<\/strong> the planet and live in harmony<\/strong> with nature<\/strong>. As well as the negative effects of climate<\/strong> change<\/strong> involve more or less all of us, thus reducing environmental<\/strong> impact<\/strong> concerns every individual. But what are the possible solutions to global<\/strong> warming<\/strong>? What can a person or a country do to change course and to make the world more\u00a0green and sustainable?<\/p>\n

1. Give up\u00a0fossil fuels<\/h2>\n

\"10<\/p>\n

Our lives, from food to work, from clothing to houses, are still based on fossil fuels and on oil<\/strong>. The technologies for a greener living are there, we just have to use them. A person who\u00a0buy\u00a0solar<\/strong> panels<\/strong>, choose to buy an electric<\/strong> car<\/strong>, choose ecological<\/strong> clothes<\/strong> can make a difference. And, at the time of the elections, we must remember to choose who is aware of how a wind turbine can make a difference.<\/p>\n

2. Consume less and share more<\/h2>\n

\"10<\/p>\n

The sharing<\/strong> economy<\/strong> allows everyone to buy a lot less stuff, you can share the bike<\/strong>, but also the car, the holiday house<\/strong>, spaces for the office<\/strong> and more. It is a solution to climate change for everyone, which saves money and fuel, producing less.<\/p>\n

3. Decrease\u00a0commute<\/h2>\n

\"10<\/p>\n

Every day billions of people travel to work. How many of these use the car, maybe by theirselves? Many: transport<\/strong> is the second largest source of CO2<\/strong> emissions in the United States. Yet it would be so easy to reduce drastically this consumption. Each of us may\u00a0think to live closer to their jobs, to use the bike, public transport<\/strong> or make use of car sharing<\/strong> services. Companies could make it possible for their employees to work, even just a few days a week, from home.<\/p>\n

4. Eat better and natural<\/h2>\n

\"10<\/p>\n

Whatever your type of diet, you can choose food that do not harm the environment. Small actions\u00a0to reduce your impact: eat less meat, choose organic<\/strong> and local<\/strong> products<\/strong>, which have not been around the world to get to your table.<\/p>\n

5. Renovate\u00a0houses and improve infrastructure<\/h2>\n

\"10<\/p>\n

If you have a house with a low energy class, this might be the right time to think about a renovation to make it more energy<\/strong> efficient<\/strong>, taking advantage of existing incentives, so that you can save money and at the same time preserving the Earth. Our city<\/strong>\u00a0and our regions should also invest in improving the infrastructure<\/strong>: a rough road makes less the performance of the most efficient vehicles.<\/p>\n

6. Save the trees and forests<\/h2>\n

\"10<\/p>\n

Trees<\/strong> can be a quick solution to combat climate change, but each year we\u00a0destroyed 30 million acres\u00a0of forests, destroying the biodiversity of these amazing ecosystems. We can buy recycled<\/strong> paper<\/strong> and use it several times, we can buy only certified<\/strong> wood<\/strong> and we can plant more new trees.<\/p>\n

7. Goodbye\u00a0Stand-by<\/h2>\n

\"10<\/p>\n

It’s hard to believe, but in the United States the citizens spends more electricity (and thus money) for electronic devices when they are apparently turned off. The red light of televisions, the\u00a0computers, and many other devices and appliances can considerably increase our bills and our carbon footprint.<\/p>\n

8. Efficiency first<\/h2>\n

\"10<\/p>\n

If you’re thinking of buying a new washing<\/strong> machine<\/strong>, a new fridge or some other appliance, your choice must necessarily be geared towards efficient<\/strong> ones that will allow you to save on bills and especially on CO2 emissions.<\/p>\n

9. Towards Zero Waste<\/h2>\n

\"10<\/p>\n

Each product we buy has a life cycle consisting of several steps, each of which produces CO2 emissions. So before you buy anything new\u00a0try something made\u00a0of recycled<\/strong> materials<\/strong>, reuse<\/strong>\u00a0what you\u00a0have at home, and reduce<\/strong> packaging. Some of the world’s cities, including San Francisco<\/a>, in a few years will reach the goal of zero waste, why can’t\u00a0we all do it?<\/p>\n

10. The technology that help us savings<\/h2>\n

\"10<\/p>\n

Just an App<\/strong> in our smartphone to control our consumption: understanding what are the devices that consume more, assess the thermal insulation can help us understand what may be the next to reduce our consumption.<\/p>\n

Being aware<\/strong> is the first step to change our lifestyles, each of us can make a difference and make the world more sustainable; not only in everyday life.
\nIt is increasingly necessary to also change the way we travel<\/strong>, whereas tourism<\/strong> is the fourth<\/strong> largest source of pollution<\/strong> in Europe. How to do it? Here are 5 easy tips to turn your vacation into green<\/strong> travel<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

1. Avoid cruises<\/h3>\n

\"10<\/p>\n

In recent years cruises have become increasingly popular, becoming the kind of holiday that has grown faster than any other in the last 20 years. But do you know that it is also the most polluting and is responsible for the destruction of coral reefs and marine ecosystems?<\/p>\n

2. Slow\u00a0mobility<\/h3>\n

\"10<\/p>\n

Whenever you can, choose to travel by train\u00a0and forget the plane. Use your bike\u00a0and car pooling.<\/p>\n

3. The wonders nearby<\/h3>\n

\"10<\/p>\n

I’m sure that wherever you live a few kilometers away there’s\u00a0a place to discover. And so, instead of taking a plane or car every weekend, travel\u00a0by\u00a0foot, bike or on horseback to discover the beaches, the mountains, the pristine nature around your home.<\/p>\n

4. Local and Organic food<\/h3>\n

\"10<\/p>\n

Now in almost all places in the world you can find beautiful restaurant\u00a0offering only organic food or farm house with local produce.<\/p>\n

5. Green hotels and B&B<\/h3>\n

\"10<\/p>\n

The eco-friendly accommodation, that se\u00a0green electricity and save water, save up to 90% and in CO2 emissions compared to a traditional hotel. With Ecobnb you can find more than 2000 hospitality around the world!<\/p>\n
