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? What challenges do you encounter or think you will encounter while trying to change these things? What help, support, and insights from others would make your life easier with these new behaviors?
Let's discuss these issues and make our pledges here!
Now It's Time for Action >
READY + WILLING TO TAKE STEPS INTO THE RIGHT DIRECTION
I'm beyond willing to take a step, and many more steps down the road to improve my environment, and reduce my carbon footprint. According to the results I received after calculating my carbon footprint, the most overused category was what happens and occurs at home. Showers, air conditioning, and heating usage deeply affected my results, and in acknowledging this, I push myself to change it for the greater good of our planet.
Reducing my shower minutes to less than five minutes, bundling up, and having to rely less on the air and heating units in my home, would undoubtedly lower my carbon footprint. Staying and being comfortable is where I find myself to be most. In such warmth from the water to the atmosphere, it would be a very big challenge that I would take on and am willing to do, to be less comfortable and more inclined to temporality be uncomfortable.
By reducing shower temperature and time, as well as not excessively relying on the heating and air conditioning; our family's overall water and energy bill costs will lower as well as reduce water usage so that we don't further contribute to another drought season.
