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? >
My Items That are Off The Table
I have several activities that would be off the table for me. An example of one of these “off the table” activities for me is driving in a car. I live in a big city in which many buildings and restaurants are fairly spaced out. My school is also too far away to walk to each morning. Another activity that is “off the table” for me is watching television. Although, I might be able to significantly reduce my television watching. I use television as a stress relief for myself when I need a break or when life gets overwhelming. Although these activities maybe “off the table” for me, I will try my best to significantly reduce the amount of time I do each of these things. Reducing my driving will help me to be in better shape and help improve myself physically and watching less television will help me to waste less time and be more productive.
I completely agree with you! It is also very hard for me to reduce the transportation part of my carbon footprint. I live 30 minutes away from my school, so driving less is definitely off the table for me as well. I also use watching TV as a way to relieve stress. It relaxes your brain and calms you down. Although I will not stop doing it completely, I will reduce the amount of time I watch it as well.
