All of you have calculated your emissions and you have surely discovered the unexpectedly high impact of some of your behaviors (eating meat, flying to a sunny destination, etc.) on your total footprints.
Are there any behaviors that you are really willing to change or to improve for the sake of the environment? What challenges do you encounter or think you will encounter while trying to change these things? What help, support, and insights from others would make your life easier with these new behaviors?
Let's discuss these issues and make our pledges here!

My solutions to have less impact on your carbon footprint
For reduce my carbon footprint I must make less kilometers by car, I must take more often of possible a public transport and carpool. For the Home, food and purchases I can’t reduce my emission of CO2 because I can’t change my food, I can’t reduce my purchases and I can’t reduce for my home because I don’t produce lot of CO2.
I am sure that you can find some ways of reducing these, like purchasing organic goods, which are environmentally friendly. It is always possible to reduce that, even for some of us who live in countries that do not offer public transport. The way that you have difficulties on reducing your Carbon footprint at your house, others have it on their way of transportation. So you can't justify yourself on it not being able to be accomplished. You can always find a way. Cheers
I think that your solution to stop driving when you can and also carpooling and such! I also think that there are some little things that can help reduce your home, food and purchases footprints. Such as, in your home just by remembering to turn the lights off when you don't need them, or using environmentally friendly lightbulbs. Also, with food trying to purchase locally grown food that would benefit your community. And lastly, with your purchases just making sure that the things you buy are necessities, such as instead of buying a new phone because it just came out, buy a new phone when your current one is broken.
I believe there are some ways to reduce them. I mean buy more organic food or go to farmers markets because at least when you buy food from them its putting back into the environment.
