Experts found that the amount of carbon dioxide emitted into the atmosphere in 2020, compared to 2019, decreased by 2.4 billion tons, or about 7 percent. This is the smallest indicator in the entire observation period. The results of the study were published in the prestigious scientific journal Earth System Science Data.
At the same time, CO2 emissions in the period of the Corona virus, in absolute terms, exceeded several times in 2009, 1981, and 1992. emissions due to economic crises. So much >.
The share of industry, transport and energy in the volume of emissions is large. For example, according to some data, burning of one ton of methane during energy or heat production releases 28 tons of СО2 into the atmosphere.
We may not be able to influence decision-making in the industry, but we can take responsibility as individuals by giving preference to electric cars or subways, bicycles, switching to energy saving.
Reducing electricity consumption can become a very effective way to combat climate change and global warming. Furthermore, we can cut costs while staying within our comfort zone.
And so
– Give preference to laptops when buying computer equipment. They consume 20-50 W of electricity, when the consumption of a computer is 60-200 W. This is because laptops run on a battery/charger and the computer must always be connected to a power source.
-Delete old emails. Most of them are spam, which consumes 33 billion kWh of electricity worldwide. It should be noted that 20 million tons of carbon dioxide will be released into the atmosphere during the production of such energy.
– When renovating the house, use energy-efficient, heat-insulating building materials, install Euro doors and windows, buy LED lamps and energy-saving equipment. Remember, the highest energy-saving A+++ refrigerator consumes less than 22 W/hour of energy, and the lowest G uses more than 150 W/hour.
-Use renewable energy sources: install solar panels.
Converse Bank, among other types of mortgage loans, also offers energy-efficient lending on competitive terms.
