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!

Cyclones
Over the past few years, we have all seen the videos of entire villages and towns being washed away by floods, and such major floods happen at least once a year in India, the native country of my family. However, when I asked by grandparents, when they were young, such events were not as big, and only happened once a decade at most. Such a change happening over such a short time is a major issue, and the worst part is it is happening to the poorest countries, the same countries whose ecological footprint is lower than the fair share. So I ask you now, how is that fair? Why is it that the richer countries get to enjoy a luxurious lifestyle at the expense of the poorer countries, other creatures, and out planet. Saving the environment and preserving our planet should be the duty of everybody, not just a few countries.
