Hello! Welcome back Green Living Podcast. In this week’s episode I talk about Greenhouse Gases. This episode dives into what greenhouse gases are, where we use them the most, and ways to reduce our carbon footprint. This is a big subject that I tried to boil down a bit to be able to be easily consumable. There is a lot of research out there so please take this podcast as a mini lesson on a larger issue. I wanted the bulk of this episode to be solutions instead of the problem. I want to focus on things that can still be done to help the planet. At the end of this episode I also mention my personal plastic audit that I did from mid August to mid September. I counted every single-use plastic item that came into the house and the number was not what I expected. If you haven't listened to the first episode please go listen for some context. Let's create a healthier and happier planet for all.  Resources mentioned in podcast: National Geographic: https://www.nationalgeographic.org/encyclopedia/ozone-layer/ EPA: https://www.epa.gov/ghgemissions/sources-greenhouse-gas-emissions Britannica: https://www.britannica.com/science/carbon-footprint Columbia University: https://blogs.ei.columbia.edu/2018/12/27/35-ways-reduce-carbon-footprint/ The Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/sustainable-business/2017/jul/10/100-fossil-fuel-companies-investors-responsible-71-global-emissions-cdp-study-climate-change  Resources not mentioned in podcast: NASA: https://www.esrl.noaa.gov/gmd/hats/publictn/elkins/cfcs.html
