I use my electric car to store energy from the panels I have my own drive way and car is home during the day .if i had not got the electric car, panels would never pay there way when everything is taken to account,If you can explain what your car needs, will see if there’s an electric that suits? How many cars do you have, distance travelled daily, frequency of longer trips, number of kids to transport, do you own your driveway etc.
but if you have dogs or cats, get rid of them.
I'm not sure of the relevance of this point either... other species have their own share of the carbon output on the planet, surely? Otherwise you'd be suggesting to kill all non-human animals?This won't be popular with a lot of people, but if you have dogs or cats, get rid of them. A medium sized dog has a carbon footprint similar to that of a small car.
... bit harsh to do that.

Now if you were to suggest that we stop BREEDING such animals, that would make sense. There's over 100 billion land farmed animals worldwide and they directly generate a multiple of the GHG emissions of the 7.6 billion humans.
I didnt realise it needs such a clearance around it. Is that in case it blows over ?
I disagree that individuals cant change the progress of global warming. Everybody must take responsibility. If we do nothing our planet is doomed.
The logic of equipping our homes with industrialised structures such as solar panels and backyard turbines in order to reduce so-called carbon footprints escapes me. Do people think these things are made of magic dust?
Personally, I think it's too late (globally), climate change is happening and meaningful action to tackle it isn't.
I've seen reports that the production of cat and dog food accounts for 25% of the total greenhouse gases produced by all animal agriculture. I was surprise it was so high, so added it for awareness purposes.
the fact remains that these are far less toxic than they were a generation ago.
The best way to reduce your heating / hot water bills is to use less.
but... what I'm trying to say is that these emissions didn't exist a few generations ago. They exist now and they are contributing to an acceleration in climate change.
They may be less toxic now, but the sheer volume of cars, lorries, planes etc. that emit emissions is staggering.
