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 its time for action, my second question is what challeneges do you encounter or think you will encounter while trying to change one of your behaviours? One challenge I may face is not being able to reduce the amount of times you drive, use public transportation or carpool. Your not always going to have a friend you can get a ride with or be able to reduce the amount of times you drive, but some ways you can cut back on those things are, in the morning you can take the bus to school, instead of having your parents drive you, that way not only you get to save carbon but you get to be with your friends. Another way you can reduce the amound of carbon you use is, you can bike around to places that are near you, for example if you want to go to grab stuff from the store, instead of driving for five minutes you can walk for a easy fifteen, and even though you might not want to have to take the bus of walk to the store, these changes can really help the enviroment stay healthy.
