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? >
Travelling
For me personally, travelling is one thing I cannot give up. My family and I love to travel, and I can't imagine my life without it. Travelling teaches you a lot about other cultures and lets you have a deeper appreciation for the world around you. It lets you see different environments than the ones you're used to and also allows you to experience a different climate depending on where you go. I can honestly say I would give up anything else before I give up travel.
I agree also. Travelling is a great way to explore different types of cultures and it also brings families closer together especially when you go on road trips. Each place around the world shows you a new experience of the different environmental settings. Also, you can meet different people who have come from different places around the world. So, I also would not give up travelling.
I agree with you. I know it is very bad for the environment and that cutting out traveling will help the Earth. I am like you though and would not want to give up traveling. I think it is a very good thing for everyone to do so they can see the world and how different people live. Also, all the history that is around the world is amazing.
I agree it is very hard for me to give up travel I travel about 4 times a year about 2 of those times its to see my family in California for reunions and Christmas, then my family has a big family trip in the summer so mostly all my trips are for family purposes. However, the things i do to reduce my traveling footprint is to book a 0 stop flight straight to my destination.
I also agree with you guys. I can't give up traveling; it's something I do twice a year and it's always a great experience. The sad part is it hurts our planet, so if we create a more efficient way to travel that pollutes less, then it will help reduce carbon dioxide in our atmosphere a lot. A thing I notice with straight flights is that they are more expensive, but the ones with more stops are less expensive. It's kind of interesting because you can pay more to pollute less, or you can pay less and pollute more. In general though the more you pay for certain things the better they are. A few examples are: buying LED lights instead of incandescent or fluorescent, buying a vegetarian or vegan meal versus a cheaper non vegetarian one, and buying an electric or even hybrid car versus a normal one.
Traveling in a plane great but your ruining the environment going those long distances releasing all those harmful gasses in our air doesn't feel right.
I also agree, I love to travel too. This year I took a trip out of the country for the 2nd time in my life. While I did love the trip, I was flying over the Pacific Ocean, so I was going a long way. I knew that traveling affects your carbon footprint a lot, but I was still very surprised on how much it did. If there is one thing that will be hard to cut down on, it will be traveling.
I agreed with you guys. I know it's bad for an environment but I still love traveling. Maybe try something eles like hiking or camping in places near your house. Using transportation that cause less carbon dioxide in air like ride a bike.
