Source: Science Daily - Top SocietyEncouraging people in North America and Sub-Saharan Africa to adopt a low-carbon lifestyle could help to cut global household emissions of planet-warming carbon dioxide by up to two-fifths, a new study reveals. Researchers have identified 21 low-carbon actions that, if adopted by the top 23.7% of global emitters, could reduce global carbon footprints by 10.4 gigatons of CO2 equivalent—some 40% of household emissions in the 116 countries analyzed.
