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!

Transportation
I am not able to limit my use of cars when getting to most places. I do try to use my bike when going to places that are short distance, but when going to school and friend's houses, because they are far away. I could bike to school since it is a 35 min. bike ride, but I have to carry my 26 pound tenor saxophone and sometimes cello to school. There is no public transportation near me and no school buses pass my neighborhood. Also, I have to travel to India every 2-3 years and visit my family in Virginia sometimes since my grandmother lives there. I haven't found a way to avoid these things, but they take up most of my carbon footprint. Please give suggestions on how to fix this.
