People go about their busy days rarely giving consideration to all of the things that they do to help increase problems for the environment. Emission control is a widely expressed concern for those who are interested in preserving air quality. Having an environmentally friendly home could greatly improve climate change. Reducing the carbon dioxide that is emitted into the air has been an ongoing problem for the environmentalists who are striving for a cleaner, safer atmosphere. There are many simple things that you can do in your home to help reduce the carbon footprints that come from the average household. 

One of the best ways to begin your crusade against carbon in the atmosphere is to be cautiously aware of the fashions that you buy. Many are made from cotton that has been modified with pesticides and other chemicals that can be harmful to other crops. These fashions are known in the retail business as fast fashions which means that they are mass produced, inexpensive, and disposable. Billions of pounds of these fashions end up in landfills yearly. Do not dispose of clothing by putting them in the garbage. Donate the good ones, and put the others in a clothing recycle bin. 

These are some easy to accomplish tips for reducing the carbon footprint at your home. 

• The first thing that can be done is to decrease the amount of red meat that is eaten. The business of agriculture depends on a lot of water for the animals that they use to provide red meat. The water supply is slowly swindling because it takes so many animals to give the amount of meat that consumers buy. Red meat producers also use a lot of the grassland that is necessary for a good quality atmosphere.
  
• Unplug all electric devices when not in use. These electrical devices suck up energy with the vampire power that they consume. Preserve the energy in your home by unplugging the electrical appliances and devices.
  
• Drive your car less. The amount of emission from vehicles is astounding, and in a large city with thousands of vehicles, the carbon affects the air quality. 
  
• Plant something green. Green plant life absorbs carbon dioxide from the air. Home gardens or balcony gardens, if in an apartment, are environmental essentials for reducing your carbon footprint.
  
• Eat organic from local distributors. Shipping food products to different locations causes a lot of pollutants in the air. The fumes and emission from vehicles can be a costly way to eat. Eat local, buy from your nearest Farmers Market. Eat poultry from local farmers. White meat is more environmentally friendly that red meat.
  
• Go back to the old fashioned way of drying clothes, line dry them. No fabric softner can provide the clean, fresh smell that comes from clothes being dried out of doors. This will eliminate the emission of carbon from the dryer.
  

It is not difficult to reduce the carbon footprint in your home. Get the entire family involved in some environmental friendly activity, and make this a family project that everyone can participate in. Take a visual walk through of your home and see how many things can be done differently to help improve the environment. Take action to help enhance the quality of the air that you breathe, and the water that you drink. Keeping your carbon footprint at a minimum at home is very important for the future of plant, animal, and human life. The more that you do, the better your body will be because of it, and it can all starts with your home.
