For me, my transportation is off the table. I know that my transportation is a huge contributor to my carbon footprint, but I am unwilling to change it. I need to drive to school and sports after school. I know that I could take public transportation to some of these places, but I like being able to control when I leave instead of it being dictated by a schedule . I also have to fly to visit my family because they live very far away. Those things are necessary, but I am also unwilling to give up the unnecessary things, like driving to get dinner or flying for vacation.

I agree with your that it just feels more convenient to drive by ourselves. But getting to work might be a good choice to change since it's everyday.

I have the same limits, too.  Living in the Bay Area and going to a commuter school means that we have to drive a lot, so it's hard to cut down on carbon emissions from transportation.  Planes also use a lot of carbon, but it's unreasonable to not travel or visit your family because of that.  Finding little ways to cut down on transportation carbon emissions, like using Lyft or carpooling will help, even if just a little bit.
