Rachel Ann Cinconiegue provides a climate action plan with 5 household consumption habits that can help solve climate change. The plan recommends using cloth masks instead of disposable ones, conserving energy by turning off lights and electronics when not in use and using energy efficient appliances. It also suggests walking, biking, carpooling or taking public transportation when possible to reduce carbon footprint and traffic. The plan advises planning meals to avoid food waste, adjusting thermostats to comfortable temperatures and dressing for the season to save on heating and cooling, and taking shorter showers and fixing leaks to reduce water consumption.

HOUSEHOLD CONSUMPTION HABITS CONTRIBUTIONS TO SOLVE CLIMATE CHANGE
Example: Use of disposable mask Use cloth mask instead
1.)Excessive use of electricity Conserve energy by turning off lights and
electronics when not in use, and using energy- efficient appliances. Look for appliances with the Energy Star label, which signifies they meet strict energy efficiency criteria. 2.)Driving a personal vehicle for short distances Walk, bike, carpool, or use public transportation whenever possible. This helps reduce your carbon footprint and traffic congestion. If you must drive, consider carpooling or using fuel- efficient vehicles. 3.)Food waste Plan meals, buy only what you need, and compost food scraps. Meal planning helps avoid impulse purchases and overstocking, while composting food scraps reduces waste sent to landfills and creates nutrient-rich soil amendment. 4.)Frequent use of air conditioning and heating Adjust thermostats to comfortable temperatures and dress appropriately for the season. In warmer months, set your thermostat a few degrees higher and wear lighter clothing. In cooler months, wear warmer clothes and lower the thermostat slightly. Additionally, consider using ceiling fans for better air circulation. 5.)High water consumption Take shorter showers, fix leaky faucets, and fully load dishwashers and washing machines before running them. Utilize water-efficient appliances and consider installing low-flow showerheads and faucets to further reduce water usage.
