Even if you heat your house with electricity, the generation of the electrical power may also have emitted a certain amount of carbon dioxide. All those activities can put strains on the environment and lead to a worsening climate change. That’s why low-carbon lifestyle. is advocated. Everybody has to share the responsibility to tackle climate change. Some changes in your life can make a big difference to the environment. Firstly, choose public transport instead of private cars.
