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!
Off the Table? >
Not Necessarily Letting Go
The Carbon Calculator has made me realize how much carbon dioxide my family and I's activities release. Although some was alarmingly above average, my home energy's release of carbon dioxide was a little low. I see this as a good thing and my household does a fairly good job of being cautious of how long we use electrical appliances. As we do really well with keeping sorted trash, recycling, and compost, my home energy is off the table.
I agree and can relate to this post. I think that my family and I sometimes lose track of how much energy we are using and forget that it is having a negative impact. I think that it is easy to get carried away and leave a light on or leave water on while brushing teeth because you can't see a direct result. It is important to understand how your actions can impact the environment.
