Off the Table?

Are there aspects of your daily life that you know contribute to your carbon footprint but you are unwilling to compromise to change them? In other words, what about your life is “off the table” when it comes to carbon emissions? It's OK to admit it- we all have these cherished behaviors!

CO2 Contributors Often Off the Table in Modern Life - Technology

MaMoBOD

In modern life, there's lots of common behaviors that are necessary to modern everyday life. Such behaviors are difficult or even impossible to give up, despite how much they might contribute to CO2 levels around the world. For example, technology. Our cell phones and computers are vital to life today, as they are very often necessary to academic settings, social situations, and more. Everyone has one, and because of their importance to our lives and connections with others, we can't give them up. I'm not exempt from this either. I often use my devices for completing school assignments and listening to music. I need to do my assignments and I enjoy listening to music, so I can't give my devices up very easily. If people wanted to challenge the systemic integration of technology into our everyday lives or minimize the pollution caused by technology, they would need a large effort put forth by a large amount of some very determined people. It won't be easy, especially when a lot of people don't even care enough to do anything about it.
