Unfortunately, there are things that we use everyday that increase our carbon footprint, and it is very hard to not use them. For example, electricity is one thing that increases your carbon footprint. Electricity is used everyday and is very difficult and almost impossible to not use throughout a normal day. Another thing are cars, fast transportation is very necessary and is used by many people at least once a day. I can try to limit the amount I drive in a car.  However, I can not stop using a car.

I think that this is a really good point to make. A lot of people see that a large portion of their carbon footprint is let's say electronics. So they believe the solution is stop using electronics. This is impossible because we need electronics for school, and emergency situations. A lot of people think doing away with these things completely will make everything instantly better, but we need these things to survive.

I agree one hundred percent with you on electricity. Because America's society nowadays is so accustomed to having electricity, it has become a form of a tradition and routine to use it. It would be silly to take away electricity from our households because we would not be able to do the daily tasks we do like cooking dinner and sitting by the warm fire. However, I do not agree completely with cars. There are plenty of people who do not own a car and who either ride with friends or take public transportation. Living in a city would be easier to not have a car at all and to take public transportation wherever you go versus living in the country. I believe it is possible to go without the use of cars. Cars have not always existed in our lives but at the same time, neither has electricity. I do not want to go without my car because it is so much easier to drive myself rather than pay for public transportation or count on a friend to pick me up, however, I believe it is doable to live without a car no matter how hard it might be or how much I would not want to do it.
