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!
English: Greenhouse gasses that are released into the atmosphere isn’t natures fault, it is ours. Ways that we increase the levels of co2 in the atmosphere includes simple activities in your day to day life. The first way that you can help decrease the amount of co2 levels is by taking a shorter shower or only showering when necessary. Taking hot showers for a long period of time burns fossil fuels that are needed to heat your shower water. Taking a shorter shower or even a cold shower can help decrease co2 levels. Turning off your light is also an idea. You can turn off your lights when not necessary like if it is sunny out you can use natures light. You can also look into more sustainable flight/planes when traveling. Using fossil fuel efficient planes can help decrease the amount of co2 being released when flying. You can also try carpooling with friends to either after school activities or to and from school. Cutting out the amount of meat that you and your family consumes is also an option. In the u.s, there is a very high demand for meat, and cows are meat. However, when we slaughter all of these cows so you can eat it for dinner, the cost is releasing more greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere, methane. These are all ways to help decrease the amount of co2 in our atmosphere. Although you might think that one person might not be able to save our world and global wramings, one small action can turn into one big one by the help our community. If you want to see change, you must change.
But what if others are not cooperative
