When it comes to carbon emissions, I could not give up a number of things. For the most part, driving is a big contributor to my carbon footprint. Deducting my footprint by, carpooling, getting an energy efficient car, driving less, are all things that are too difficult to do, considering my kind of lifestyle. Using less energy such as the heater or AC, is something I am unwilling to compromise to reduce my carbon footprint. Even cutting down on water usage would be hard to compromise. I enjoy taking long showers, I drink plenty of water each day, I wash my clothes in a washing machine, and  do many more things that involve water which I could not compromise to reduce my carbon footprint. Technology is one of the biggest that is off the table. My phone and laptop are essentials to my everyday life, and they needed for my work. I could not get through school and do many things without it. My technology is also what keeps me entertained when I am not with others, so  it is much needed in my life. These three things, transportation, water, and technology are three essential things that I am not willing to compromise to reduce my carbon footprint.
