Financial expert Philip Heldt: Here's how five resolutions can change your financial and environmental balance

According to a report by www.presseportal.de,

With the right resolutions, every individual can make a contribution to environmental and climate protection in 2024. The North Rhine-Westphalia consumer advice center has put together five tips that should make it easy to get started in a more sustainable year. These range from reducing hot water consumption to avoiding short flights and switching to tap water instead of bottled water.

Tip 1 for reducing hot water consumption by installing an energy saving shower head can result in significant energy savings, which in turn could reduce costs and reduce CO2 emissions. Tip 2, which recommends not using a car for short journeys, could reduce CO2 emissions per capita by 300 kilograms per year if commuters cycle to work instead. Tip 3 emphasizes the importance of long-term use of products or purchasing used products to reduce the environmental footprint. This could lead to lower resource consumption and thus a positive environmental impact. Tip 4, which recommends avoiding short flights instead of bus and train journeys, could help to significantly improve your individual climate footprint. Finally, Tip 5, which suggests switching to tap water instead of bottled water, would not only help reduce single-use plastic bottles, but also significantly reduce the climate impact of transporting bottled water.

Overall, these tips can help reduce your individual ecological footprint and contribute to environmental and climate protection. It remains to be hoped that many consumers will put these tips into practice and thus collectively have a positive impact on the environment.
