The average American produces 3.5 times more carbon dioxide emissions annually than the global average, hitting 18.55 tons per person each year, primarily due to consumption.
Purchases account for 26% of total U.S. emissions, making it essential for consumers to assess the environmental impact of items before buying.
To reduce our carbon footprint effectively, we must reflect on our shopping habits: avoid impulse buys, focus on genuine needs, and invest in durability.
Consideration of recyclability for products and packaging can significantly lower consumer impact and help foster responsible consumer behavior.
