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 is really off the table?
Many other people may relate to my family's specific issue because for some reason we can not seem to change our current consumption situation. We have recently been attempting to regulate how much meat our family consumes weekly, however we just seem to always fall off the schedule. I understand there are many various food product alternatives similar to meat, but I guess we just can never adjust to this stricter system.

My family goes through this same thing. We start the first few days completely off of meat, but after that it kind of shuts down and we go back to our old routine. Maybe if you learned more about eating not eating meat means, you'd be more motivated to do it! According to PETA, vegetarians are 40% less likely to develop cancer. Also, neighborhoods that provide slaughterhouses as jobs, have higher rates of rape, child abuse, and domestic violence. Maybe keep this in mind when you and your family try again!

How do you think this could be applied on a larger scale? is there any way we could try to implement this on a more national scale?
