In this section, we will see a third way to reduce your greenhouse gas emission. You can make a difference with your consumption choice. Bellow are some ideas to consider.

Food consumption

• Adopt a plant-rich diet (#4),
• Prefer locally and seasonal produced food or even better have a vege garden at home,
• Avoid single-use items (straws, cups, plastic plate, plastic bags, etc).

Goods

• Buy more consciously (for example choose sustainable goods),
• Buy less and better,
• Don’t buy a new item unless your previous one is not usable anymore (phone, tablet,…),
• Consider the energy star rating when buying a new appliance,
• Avoid buying excessive packaged items.
