Four Ways to Cut Your Carbon Footprint in Albuquerque, New Mexico

Last Updated on January 27, 2020 By Alice Johnson Leave a Comment

Like the rest of New Mexico, Albuquerque is pretty laid back and perfect for those who like to savor what life has to offer. Similar to all other areas in New Mexico, Albuquerque enjoys 300 days of sunshine, and sunscreen is a necessity. The cost of living in Albuquerque is also quite affordable.

But just because life in Albuquerque is great doesn’t mean you ignore the environmental crisis the world is currently facing. You, too, should take steps to cut your carbon footprint. Do you have no idea where to start? Begin by contacting experts to help you with solar panel installation in Albuquerque NM, so you can make a switch to clean, renewable energy. Below are other ways to live sustainably, and more details on why switching to solar is ideal.

1. Walk, Ride a Bike, or Use Public Means of Transport

Every time you drive to work, you increase the amount of greenhouse gases making their way to our atmosphere. Therefore, to live sustainably and cut your carbon footprint in New Mexico, you have to reduce your car use. If you don’t live far from work, then take a walk instead of taking your car. If you have a bicycle or love riding bikes, get one. If none of these options work for you, then use public commute instead of driving.

Are you wondering what difference that will make?

If yes, note that going carless for 12 months will help you prevent a great amount of carbon from being released into the environment. If everyone in your household drives to work, consider bundling into one car instead of taking separate vehicles.

2. Switch to Solar

One of the easiest ways to become sustainable, as mentioned earlier, is to switch to solar. Studies show that an average solar panel system offsets approximately 100,000 pounds of carbon. This is mainly a good idea in Albuquerque because it enjoys 300 days of sunshine. But besides being good for the environment, switching to solar will see you reap immense personal benefits.

For instance, you can drastically reduce, or even completely cut down your electric bills. Therefore, take advantage of the tax credits offered by New Mexico by seeking solar panel installation in Albuquerque, NM, as soon as possible.

3. Get Reusable Stuff

Every day, tons of plastic make their way to our environment and oceans. Not only does this increase carbon emissions, but it also puts land and marine wildlife in danger. You can make a difference by getting reusable stuff.

For instance, instead of buying plastic bottled water, get a reusable bottle to carry water from home. Buy and bring a reusable bag for shopping instead of getting your stuff packaged in a plastic paper bag, which will only end up in the trash and, consequently, the environment. Replace paper towels with cloth napkins and spread awareness on the impact of plastic on the environment.

4. Plant a Garden

By now, you already know that plants absorb carbon. Creating a garden, even if it is a small hanging one on your balcony in Albuquerque, will help reduce carbon emissions directly.

It’ll also help you reduce your carbon footprint. How? Well, if you plant something you can use in your kitchen, for instance, vegetables, you no longer have to buy plastic-packaged ones. This means less plastic from your home, which is good for Mother Nature.

Additionally, note that each packet of veggies that reaches your table has not only undergone a rigorous packaging process but was also transported using trucks, which further increases carbon emissions. Having your small vegetable garden means fewer vehicles on the road.

It is the responsibility of each person to take care of the planet. Your efforts might seem insignificant at first, but they’ll motivate others to follow in your footsteps.

In other words, your efforts to live sustainably will have a ripple effect on your community. Start today by calling in the experts to help you with solar panel installation in Albuquerque, NM.
