Climate change is the biggest challenge of our time and the most important challenge of our time.
Chasing Zero aims to open up the conversation about how we can all contribute to reducing the greenhouse gas emissions that are so toxic to life on earth – in practical ways.
As a consumer, it’s not easy to make decisions that have a lesser impact on the planet but the choices we make as consumers today will affect our climate for decades to come and will impact the health and lifestyle our children and grandchildren have in future.
In considering our choices and decisions, I decided to see if my own household could map out a pathway to net zero emissions, and a 50% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030, in line with the Paris Agreement.
This blog intends to share the ideas and changes we can make as citizens and householders to reduce our carbon footprint. I do not profess to have all the answers but I want to share our successes, failures and mistakes so we can all learn together.
The intent is to open up a conversation, so we can all make better informed choices.
I welcome other viewpoints and encourage others to share their stories about reducing emissions. Hopefully we can make a collective impact to limiting the worst effects of climate change.
Thank you for reading.
