Planet Earth today is threatened by climate change, with worsening natural disasters leading to loss of life and property, destroying biodiversity, and altering agricultural patterns.
To mitigate climate change, there is a need to lessen the emission of greenhouse gasses (GHG), example: carbon dioxide, methane, nitrate and sulphate. While countries reduce GHG through policy and other structural measures, every global citizen must contribute in reducing greenhouse gas through a low carbon lifestyle.
Filipinos can achieve a low-carbon lifestyle. This can be done by applying traditional as well as new innovative practices.
The Pinoy Low Carbon Lifestyle website highlights practices of the Filipino culture that are inherently eco-friendly and have low-carbon roots. In addition, innovative modern practices are introduced. Information on how to achieve low-carbon living is disseminated through the links, discussion forum, practical tips and recommendations.
These features aim to show the key ways to truly have a Pinoy Low-Carbon Lifestyle that are inherent in our culture. Hence, making it easier and feasible for us Filipinos to help our environment. By digging deep within our roots, we can help mitigate the consequences of climate change in our own special ways.
The Pinoy Carbon Counter measures the carbon footprint of Juan and Juana Dela Cruz. Unlike just any other carbon counter, the Pinoy Carbon Counter considers every aspect and detail of a Pinoy lifestyle from transportation, home living, and even diet. The result would open any Pinoy mind to new realization. Through the website, we can direct and show you how to be more effective in lowering your carbon emission.
