All of you have calculated your emissions and you have surely discovered the unexpectedly high impact of some of your behaviors (eating meat, flying to a sunny destination, etc.) on your total footprints.
Are there any behaviors that you are really willing to change or to improve for the sake of the environment?

Don’t be hot
Did you know using hot water increases your carbon footprint by a lot compared to using room temperature water? Although it may be a part of your daily routine, using hot water for a relaxing shower, is not good for our environment because the hot water in your showers is made by electricity. Taking cold showers is actually very good for your health. Taking cold showers releases endorphins which are good for your mental health. If sacrificing hot showers is too much for you, take short showers.
