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!

How daily life can affect carbon footprints

natalierollo

There are many activities I do in my daily life that can effect my carbon footprint. Things like using electricity, water, and driving (transportation)  are all many factors that contribute negatively to my carbon footprint, and are hard to change. Some things like the amount of water I use are hard to control, and I am most likely not willing to change the amount of water I use daily. It is harder to do this because I use water for many things like showering and drinking water too. On the other hand, recycling can be an easier way of controlling my carbon footprint and I would be more willing to change the way I sort and generate waste and trash. Things like composting food and recycling can positively reduce my carbon footprint. If more people think about the ways they can reduce their carbon footprints, our environment can improve one step at a time.

I totally agree, the amount of carbon we use and how we use it really affects our carbon footprint and since somethings we can't really change, like taking showers and drinking water, we could alway just cut down on our supply, like taking shorter showers. Plus, the things we can change and improve, like recycling and composting, should be our main focus so we can make sure our carbon footprint stays as low as we can make it.

Only walking everyday or riding a bike could reduce rising CO2 levels. Also turning off electronic, lights and water while not using them would have affected it
