Off the Table?

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!

A huge contributor to my carbon footprint is transportation, but I'm not willing to change it. I need to be able to drive to school and to my after school activities. I try to carpool, but it's hard to do that with everything. I don't want to ride the bus to school because I usually have things to do afterwards, so I need to be able to control when I can leave. I fly a lot too, so I don't want to not go on vacations, but I'm willing to walk places on vacation instead of driving around. There isn't a bus that I can take to go places. Transportation is something I'm not willing to alter, but I do try my best in other aspects of my life to decrease my carbon footprint.

I agree that transportation is a large contributor to global warming but we cant just stop using cars and planes. Sure you can ride a bike but they are slower and may not be a good choice for some people. A solution to this problem are clean vehicles. For example electric cars and natural gas buses. Although electric planes have not replaced regular commercial planes, they might be something we see in the future.
