• To grow herbs or plants  on windowsill  can reduce carbon emissions releasing from kitchen.

• We can cook foods which include more vegetables instead of animal-based foods increasing carbon emissions like meat, eggs and dairy.

• We can do  plans to reduce food waste such as meal planning, less shopping aiming only necessary things, getting inventive with food scraps.

• For leftovers, a compost can be set up no matter where.

        LAUNDRY ROOM
