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!

Ways to Improve
Hello, my name is Elaine Cheng and I am currently a senior at Oakland High School. It is the 21st century currently, climate change and CO2 placements on the planet is increasing due to what we as humans place on.
There are activities in your daily life that can reduce the negative impact humans place on the planet.
(1) Lower driving rates- instead take public transportation, bike, or even walk
(2) Use water efficiently- do not let water run when not run in use, take shorter showers, and repair all running leaks
(3) Reduce, reuse, and recycle- always take this into consideration because it helps conserve energy and reduces pollution and greenhouse gas emissions
These three activities can help our planet, our Mother Earth.
And last but not least, be sure to spread the word! With more participants, we can make a greater impact through our positive actions.
