WAYS TO IMPROVE MALAYSIA TO ZERO-CARBON-COUNTRY
WHAT IS ZERO-CARBON-COUNTRY
Zero-carbon-country means that the carbon dioxide absorbed is more than it is produced. This will aids in lower down the temperature in the atmosphere and bring good effects to climate change.
HOW CAN WE IMPROVE MALAYSIA TO ZERO-CARBON-COUNTRY
PLANT MORE TREES
Trees can absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to produce photosynthesis so that some of the emissions can be eliminated
MINIMIZE DRIVING
Consider walking, biking, carpooling and public transit as much as possible. Set a goal of walking or biking anywhere within 2km of your home
REDUCE HEAT ENERGY USE
Consider electric stove rather than gas stove to reduce the emission of CO2. Also minimize using fireplaces and wood stove.
REDUCE AIRCONDITIONING
Use closed curtains, shades, drapes, or plants for shade and use more fans to cool the space down instead of air conditioner.
EAT CLIMATE-FRIENDLY MEALS
Try to grow your own food at home. Growing vegetables, fruits and herbs without any chemical can even maintain good health.
RAISE AWARENESS
Malaysians can organize more campaigns regarding how to become a zero-carbon-country and work together to make this target come true.
