One of the biggest contributors of my carbon footprint was my transportation, but more specifically my air travel. Although I know I could travel less often, I am not willing to give up the opportunities I have to travel and explore other parts of the world. I am super thankful for the trips I am able to take, and I love to travel and see places that I don't get to see everyday. This being said, I am willing to change my habits in other categories, including growing food from home and not buying it from the store, turning off my lights when they are not needed, carpooling more, opting for less dairy items, and using the AC or heating less often. Although I am not willing to compromise on my opportunities to explore the world, there are many other places in which I can reduce my carbon footprint

I understand you wanting to see the world, but their are ways of travel that release less CO2 than planes. For example sail boats will hardly produce any CO2 and can get you across the oceans. Although they may take more time and cost more, saving the earth is more important than seeing all of it quickly.
