how many times do you leave a room and leave all the lights on? I do it too, and it didn't even cross my mind  - until I took this survey - how much electricity we waste because left the lamp on in our bedrooms. I also barely use my bicycle, which would benefit the world a lot more than cars would. The problem is that people like to be "comfortable". When it's raining, we prefer to stay inside a nice, warm car instead of out on a healthy bike ride. When it's night time, we prefer to keep the house bright instead of turning off that bedroom lamp. We all think that it's OK to leave that light on... but when EVERYONE is doing it, our world is suffering. That's the hardest part for me - being aware.

I completely agree with you because after taking this carbon footprint survey, I have found myself walking around the house and realizing how many lights I accidently or unconsciously leave on so I think that this would be something that I could work on, but it may be difficult to do so for me. I too enjoy staying inside where I am warm and don't enjoy a cold, dark room when it is raining. I think that before this survey, it would have been something I wouldn't have been willing to give up, but after seeing how it contributes to not only my carbon footprint but the whole world, I think that I need to be more self aware of this.
