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!

What I have to have
There are many things that are considered "necessities" in our lives that aren't really necessities like TV's and Radios. However there are a few things that I just cannot live without. I need electricity everyday in my life to complete schoolwork and to communicate with family. We need electricity to power our homes and our communities. Without electricity we wouldn't be able to use our AC or our Heating units. We wouldn't be able to refrigerate our foods or turn on the lights. We also need cars to be able to get from place to place. If we couldn't drive many people would be out of a job. We also need sewer systems to keep our communities sanitary. It would be very difficult to live in todays world if we didn't have these things.
