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!

Things Off My Table
One thing that I know is terrible for the environment, but I will not give it up is travelling. Planes pollute the air, but I enjoy travelling a lot and it is the only way I get to see my family. Yes, I could drive, but that also pollutes the air. Another thing that is bad for the environment is eating farmed meat, but I do it anyways. My whole family enjoys eating meat, and although we could reduce our meat consumption, going without meat is out of the picture. It would be a hard adjustment for us all. If it becomes really neccessary, I will stop, but for now, these are the things off my table.
I agree with your comment, but how is your comment going to help our environment? You're saying that you're going to travel anyways even though it is bad for our environment. The part I agree with is the eating less meat.
I agree with you, there is a long way to go until this world is close to being clean. There are many things just like traveling that people can not give up after given the luxury of having. For me traveling is a big part in keeping traditions. That is why I am exited for the day when we, not as a country, but as the world, as one unit help save the world by changing the way of travel. When there is a day when most families including mine can and choose to buy electric cars. When an engineer designs electric air planes, when people stop focusing on segways and start focusing on better innovations that will change the world for the better.
