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!

Save Our Planet
We are very fortunate to live at a Planet that provides us with so much benefits but yet we still don't take it for granted. For example 90% percent of the earths population is breathing polluted air. Air pollution causes 5 million deaths worldwide. We are the reason for the pollution and we need to stop it before it's too late! The factories we create and work for are the biggest reasons of air pollution. Instead of factories producing everything we can make home made and organic food. The human population is growing but at a slow rate, this increasing population needs use of more resources to sustain the population. With the growing human population the use of plastic is increasing which is obviously bad for the environment. There is so many things that can make a huge difference in are environments, for example reducing factories, not using plastic as much etc. Reducing carbon footprint can help Earth a lot, our carbon footprints play an important role on global warming. Global warming is not just bad for planet earth but it can affect us humans and other species. We can reduce our carbon footprint by saving water and electricity. We waste 1.7 gallons of water annually we can reduce that number just by turning are faucet off when we aren’t using it. By doing simple things we can make a huge difference in our environment.
This is a very good analysis because it shows how and why humans are the cause of pollution. Not only does it explain it, it also gives the human society ideas of how we can help our planet become healthier.
I agree with what you have stated here. Although there are a lot of different things that contribute to climate change, I think that factories have the biggest impact. Did you know that from the top 20 dairy and meat producers around the world have gone up 3% compared to last year. Also, the fashion industry has a huge impact on this aswell with around 20% of the 300 million plastic waste produced comes from the fashion industry, if you think about it, that’s around 60 million tons of plastic waste just from the fashion industry!
