Over the past few days I have learned about how important it is to hold yourself accountable for the amount of carbon that you emit into the atmosphere. After taking the carbon footprint calculator, I was surprised to see how low my carbon footprint was. This was mainly due to how my family and I rarely take any flights and instead normally travel to places that are closer to where we live so we usually are able to drive. I think that it is very important for everyone to be conscious of their carbon footprint but I think it is also important for people to be held accountable for the amount of carbon that they emit. I recently watched a video with my class of Amanda Gorman’s poem “Earthrise”. In the poem Amanda Gorman talks about how it is the people who emit less carbon that are affected by the massive amounts of carbon, the most. This is something that I think is so true and that it’s really unfair how many celebrities are able to avoid the effects of the massive amounts of carbon that they emit from all of their private jet flights and that instead it is people of middle and lower classes that have to experience the effects on a daily bases.
