I calculated my carbon footprint and I must say that it’s impressive. Although it is quite at the same level as my country, I think it is far too high. I think it this way because I’ve read some documents in this website that explain the consequences of our pollution. These texts focus on ocean acidification. This phenomenon is undervalued by people, although it is important to remember that 50% oft he oxygen we breathe comes from plankton communities, some of which are able to excercise photosynthesis.
After reading about this thinks I asked myself how can the single human being change that and I think that everybody can find a solution that fits them.
By looking at my carbon footprint I can understand that production of food and transports take a large amount of energy and also generate many CO2, that’s responsible for acid rain and for a lower oceans‘ Ph.
I could seem repetitive, but as many other students already said: the only solutions for this social problem is to buy food that isn’t imported and trying to waste as less as possible.
In conclusion I think that in  my country we have the opportunity to choose not to damage the environment, but we also have some of the responsability for climate change. To solve this, everyone should realize what their responsabilities are and everyone should try to improve their lifestyle considering that nature is hosting us.

The problem of the acidification of the oceans doesn't involve only the phytoplankton, but the corals too! If the pH of the oceans gets too low, the calcium carbonate dissolves faster and the corals can't grow so good and they become more fragile. The corals are very important, because they are ecosystems where a lot of species live and if they would disappear, a lot of living beings will become extinct, causing a big damage to the biodiversity on the earth.
