There are so many things you can do if you’re looking to do your part in saving the environment. It’s certainly a noble pursuit. Carbon emissions negatively affect the world, so learning how to mitigate this issue can lead to a better quality of life for your children and grandchildren. But how do you do it? What are some ways you can lessen your carbon footprint? Learn the top three ways you can do so below.
Drive Less
Electricity generation is a serious problem since it releases large amounts of carbon dioxide emissions, especially when you frequently drive. Driving less creates far fewer emissions from your exhaust pipe. Most people recommend getting rid of your car and riding the bus or train. However, this isn’t feasible for everyone since it might tack hours onto your commute. Instead, try to service your car to keep it more efficient and less likely to spew more gas out of your exhaust pipe. Check your tires regularly since low tire pressure can negatively impact fuel output. As it turns out, blasting your air conditioning and driving too much in the city increase emissions. If you can, reduce this by taking the scenic route and only using the air conditioner when necessary. This is a great way to lessen your carbon footprint.
Make Your Appliances Energy Efficient
There are so many ways you can improve the energy efficiency of your appliances. For example, you can improve the energy efficiency of your refrigerator by cleaning its coils. Energy-efficient “smart” appliances can also directly reduce carbon emissions that come from fuel consumption and combustion. Additionally, they reduce indirect emissions from electricity generation. The best way to do this is to look for the Energy Star label on your appliances. Most of them have it, especially smart appliances. However, it’s important to be sure, so check with the person who sells it to you or the description of the appliance on its manufacturer’s website.
Fly Less
Don’t take too many round-trip flights. By avoiding this, you will shrink your carbon blueprint drastically. Use public transport more than flying and seeing family and friends occasionally. If you can’t avoid flying, say for frequent business trips, donate money to sustainability projects. Examples are urban gardens and companies that supply energy-efficient stoves to various homes outside the city. Occasionally, an airline will provide you with this option, so check with them. Overall, there are many ways you can reduce your carbon blueprint. It’s just a matter of figuring out the best way for you.

A BBC investigation suggests more than 50,000 Russian soldiers have died in the war in Ukraine. Researchers from the BBC and the independent Russian website Mediazona studied burial sites and other evidence. The Kremlin does not disclose official figures.
The war also continues to claim many Ukrainian lives. The latest Russian missile strike has killed 17 people and injured at least 70 more.
Ukraine’s President Zelensky called on his country’s allies to offer the same support as they have shown to Israel. A $49 billion proposed new aid package is due to be voted on in Washington in the coming days.

BBC News Video: US Senate hearings looking at Boeing safety | BBC News
Boeing is under scrutiny over a series of incidents, including when a door blew out of a 737 Max plane shortly after take-off.
Two competing hearings were held in Congress on Wednesday to discuss safety issues on Boeing planes.
Engineer Sam Salehpour accused Boeing of taking shortcuts in the construction of its 787 and 777 jets.
He claimed he was "threatened with termination" after raising concerns with bosses.
But Boeing said the claims were "inaccurate" and added it was confident its planes were safe.

Former British senior diplomat Edward Chaplin was kidnapped in Iran in 1987, and relations between the UK and the Islamic Republic quickly deteriorated afterwards.
That kidnap followed claims by Iran that an Iranian consulate worker in Manchester was assaulted by British police.
Mr Chaplin sat down with Newsnight's Joe Inwood and spoke publicly for the first time since he was seized and assaulted by revolutionary guards almost fifty years ago.

ODN Video: How Did Israel Take Down More Than 300 Iranian Missiles and Drones?
The attack started with 170 drones launched from Iran to Israel.
An hour later Iran launched 30 cruise missiles, capable of reaching Israel in just over an hour.
110 ballistic missiles were fired next, taking under 15 minutes to reach their targets.
At the same time, drone attacks were launched by Iran’s Houthi allies in Yemen…
While Hezbollah launched drones from the Golan Heights.
Despite the size of the Iranian attack, Israel claims that it was able to intercept 99% of the incoming attacks.
So how was Israel able to defend itself so effectively?

ODN Video: Georgian MP PUNCHED During Debate on Controversial Law
This is the moment chaos erupted in the Georgian parliament building.
Mamuka Mdinaradze, head of the Georgian Dream Party faction, was punched in the face by Alexander Elisashvili of the rival Citizens party.
Elisashvili accused him of being ‘pro-Russian’ during a debate on a controversial law, which will require media and non-commercial organisations who receive funding from abroad to register as foreign agents.
Opponents say the bill is inspired by similar authoritarian laws in Russia, and would alienate news media critical of the Kremlin.
Massive protests have taken place outside Tbilisi’s parliament.
Demonstrators believe that this law aligns their nation with Russia and takes it away from their aspirations of joining the European Union, a claim that EU and US leaders have echoed.
The Georgian government have rejected the comparison with Russian legislation.
But this is not the first time they have faced similar protests from opponents.
They attempted to pass the same bill last year, but it was shelved amid violent demonstrations.
According to a 2023 poll, over 80% of Georgians support joining the EU.

ODN Video: The Moment Spire COLLAPSES in Massive Fire at Copenhagen Stock Exchange
The city of Copenhagen woke up this morning to a devastating fire at the Old Stock Exchange.
The flames engulfed the spire causing its dramatic collapse.
Huge clouds of black smoke could be seen high above the city’s skyline.
The scaffolding surrounding the building made it difficult for emergency services to efficiently tackle the fire.
The cause remains unknown.
There have been no reports of any injuries, but the public has been warned to stay away.
The 400-year-old building is one of the city’s most iconic and holds some of Denmark’s most valuable art.
Employees, emergency services and up to 90 members of an army unit attempted to save the many artistic treasures from the fire.
The Deputy Prime Minister called it ‘our Notre Dame moment', referencing the tragic fire that destroyed the roof and spire of the historic Parisian cathedral which happened five years ago, almost to the day.

ODN Video: Intense Combat Footage Shows Hamas Still Fighting in Khan Younis
Footage released by the militant group Hamas suggests they are continuing to fight the IDF in Khan Younis.
After months of fierce combat, the IDF has withdrawn its 98th division from the city, saying that its biggest-ever division had “concluded its mission” and needed time to “recuperate”.
Israeli defence officials suggest they are merely regrouping for a potential push into Rafah.
Some have questioned whether the withdrawal leaves the IDF troops still in Gaza vulnerable to attack.
In a video Hamas claimed it was their own successful operations that forced the IDF to pull back.
Al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas’ military wing, can be seen planning an operation which reportedly killed 14 Israeli soldiers and injured many more.
The video shows Hamas fighters planting explosive devices in the ambush area before conducting the attack.
Another video appears to show IDF soldiers falling into a home rigged with explosives, which were then detonated on them.
They also released a highly-edited compilation clip to mark six months of war against Israel.
Hamas fighters claim they are standing firm as IDF ground forces pull out from Khan Younis, but IDF commanders are convinced that “the vast majority of its battalions are dismantled and have lost their capabilities”.
The Israelis claim that the remaining IDF troops in the Khan Younis area are there to prevent Palestinians returning to the north.
More than 80% of Khan Younis' buildings are estimated to have been destroyed and the rest are mostly uninhabitable.
