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!

Off the table - Transportation
For me transportation is off the table, although it was my highest contributor to carbon emission. I play for a high level soccer team that is around 45 minutes away and 30 miles away. When driving there most of the time I’m in an electric car and I carpool with one other teammate. Also, mostly the only plane rides I take are for my competitive soccer team and they are often shorter distances. Although these plane rides and travel may add up and release a lot of carbon emission, it is hard to cut this out as I already limit my vacation travel and travel to see family and it’s something I am very passionate about and find a lot of joy in. It is something that I am not willing to give up yet.
