Are you taking steps to reduce your environmental impact on the planet? CTVNews.ca wants to hear from those who are looking to make their lives more eco-friendly.
Climate change is upon us, with reports highlighting the dramatic need to limit carbon emissions in order to reduce devastation to ecosystems and humans.
Studies and warnings from scientists often point to a collective need for change among industries, governments and regular citizens.
While some may feel overwhelmed, or like there's nothing they can do to make an impact, experts suggest otherwise.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change says if individuals chose lower-carbon transportation alternatives like biking, walking or public transit, it could divert two tonnes of carbon dioxide yearly per person. This is equivalent to 4.1 barrels of oil consumed.
Considering how much of an impact one person can make, we want to know how you are trying to tackle the climate crisis.
