UN SDGs: |
|
What are the actions that we can take in our personal lives to live sustainably? How can we reduce our personal carbon footprint and contribute towards a healthier planet? It is amazing how much carbon we generate through everyday actions from drinking coffee to ordering food online. At least for some of these choices, less carbon intensive alternatives exist. Visit the Do Good Actions page to measure the footprint for your actions and make more sustainable lifestyle choices. Become, superhuman. This challenge was originally launched under Namami Tate, our campaign with the Ministry of Earth Sciences, India. Namami Tate was an initiative to advance the agenda for SDG 14 in India, as part of Government of India's Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav.
