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!

Electronics

There is no way I could give up my computer. I need it every day for school to do school work and at home to do homework. Without it, I would not be able to get any work done, like the work I'm doing right now. I also can not give up my phone because I constantly need to stay in touch with society and my parents.

But the thing is, you don't have to give it up completely, you can use both much less frequently, it would have a similar affect, but you would still be able to hold on to your wants. Another thing is that you can wait a year of two before getting a new phone or, so you get the latest technology, but you don't spend a lot of money and waste a lot of resources to keep yourself up eternally to date.

With most work, you can usually do well with some paper. Personally, I find it a bit more appealing to use paper before I decide to finish work rather than working on it when I'm on computer. It's a lot more distracting with all the things O usually have going on, and it's a bit more pleasant.  It cuts down usage, and in some cases can save you time (unless your work is solely internet based, like an e-book specific assignment or such).

You Don't fully Give up your electronics just take a break sometime. Instead of just having it in you hand all the time put it down and do something productive to keep your mind off your phone and or other electronics. Everything should be in moderation
