Hi, my name is Yasmine. My carbon footprint is very low thanks to walking almost all the time. Although my home is my biggest contributor, I can improve by using LED lights and taking shorter showers, and I'll also focus on reducing my meat consumption. My figures demonstrate a very sustainable lifestyle that's well below average. In my opinion, I think I'm doing a great job compared to my country´s footprint.

Hello Yasmine,
That's good to hear that you are doing a great job with your carbon footprint, especially walking to where you need to go. Compared to my carbon footprint, mine is just below the average in my area in Florida, U.S. My main source is transportation and electricity usage in my home. I live in a rural area in Florida, so walking to places would be unfeasible and public transportation isn't really common in U.S unless you live in a big city (but even that is pretty much nonexistent). For electricity in my home, I do a decent job of turning lights off when not in use or unplugging devices, but I could change my bulbs to be LED rather than CFL to help offset that usage.

Hi Yasmine! I really like how proactive you are about reducing your carbon footprint. Walking instead of driving is such a great habit, and it’s awesome that you’re focusing on ways to make your lifestyle even more sustainable. I’ve been trying to do the same by driving less, turning off lights when they aren’t needed, and only using water when it’s necessary. I’ve also started cutting back on my shower time to save more water and energy. I agree that small daily changes can really make a big difference over time. You’re definitely setting a great example keep it up!

Hey Yasmin!
Congratulations on the carbon footprint. That's really impressive! I'm trying to get like you, lowering my footprint as best I can. I'll definitely take your advice and try to follow in your example. Walking is good. Walking is better than driving! Gotta turn those lights off too. Good job Yasmin!
