No matter how hard I try I have found that changing my lifestyle is hard. I have tried vegetarian and other less meat less waste lifestyles and have usually somehow cheated. I have goind that I can limit it but I can’t completely get ride of it. I feel that this is a problem many people have. Though I do feel that I am some what helping the environment I also feel that because I can not completely commit I am still a problem.

I have had similar experiences where I troubled with fully committing to certain restrictions in my eating habits and lifestyle in general. However, I also think that it's important to remember that you're always going to have a carbon footprint. No matter what you try and do to "do your part" like everyone always says, you will still always release carbon (you need to in order to survive!). I think the most important thing when it comes to reducing your carbon footprint is that you are trying. Even trying is a success within itself, and failure is only an opportunity for more doors to open. Trying new things to reduce your carbon output is always a good idea, whether they're big or small. Sometimes it's much easier to start with smaller things such as using reusable straws or grocery bags. After you have mastered this, then you can start leaning towards bigger things like changing your diet.
