Are there aspects of your daily life that you know contribute to your carbon footprint but you are unwilling to compromise to change them? In other words, what about your life is “off the table” when it comes to carbon emissions? It's OK to admit it- we all have these cherished behaviors!

Off The Table
One thing that is off the table for me is traveling. My family lives really far away from me and I can’t do much to help that, however they are also one of the most important things in the world to me so yes I am going to continue to see them no matter how far I have to go. If someone were to propose another idea for getting to my family that didn’t take several days, then yes I would do it in a heart beat. Flying is currently the easiest way for me to see my family and until someone proposes a better way, it is off the table.
My extended family lives far away from me as well. They’re on a different continent, so the best way to visit them is flying. It’s not the most environmentally friendly way to travel, but it is the fastest, so it’s usually how I visit them. If there were other ways that were faster and more environmentally friendly, I would definitely rather choose them too.
