What is net-zero living and why experts say it’s worth it

electric vehicle charging stations to encourage greener living are aiming to neutralize the other homes, buildings and communities that emit their share of greenhouse gases. Going net-zero at home and in your general daily activities will help reduce your carbon footprint, experts say. In theory, if large companies and individuals are able to reduce their greenhouse emissions by at least 50% by 2050, it will greatly improve our chances to fight climate change. But for now, let’s talk about what we can do in our own homes. FILE - Solar panels on a net-zero home. Net-zero means that the greenhouse gas emissions produced by a country, state, city, company, or even a building are counterbalanced by an equal amount of emissions that are reduced.This is not the same as zero emissions, which means that no carbon or other greenhouse gases are released at all, or carbon negative, which means that more carbon is removed than is emitted.
