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!
Off the Table? >
Travel
What's off the table for me? Traveling from one place to another is off the table for me. Although, I know driving a car is definitely affecting the environment and releases many carbon emissions, I cannot change the way I commute to places. It takes me about half an hour to get to school and if I were to ride a bike or walk, who knows how long that would take me? I believe that if I were to go to some place near my house I could definitely cut down on using a car or automobile, but my daily commutes would have to still be by car.
Besides that, I could not give up travelling the world. Yes, planes have a large carbon emission, but flying to different countries, states, or cities is something I also cannot let go of. Travelling to different places can widen your perspective. It teaches you about different cultural backgrounds and gives you an insight on how others live their life. It opens you up to new opportunities and chances to try new things.
