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!
Now It's Time for Action >
Freedom Comes With Responsibility
We have the freedom to purchase anything that we can afford, as long as it is legal; this is exactly what humans are doing at this very moment. This leads to a higher demand in the industry sector, and instead of raising prices - which would, in some cases, have a devastating impact on society (the food industry, for instance) - they produce more. The result of this is that we are emitting more greenhouse gases, which is leading us into an environmental decline.
If we were to limit freedom. people would become dismayed, and the aftermath would only stack onto the quantity of issues we already have. Though, if we were to continue the way we do, the current emission of greenhouse gases will continue.
However, both of these scenarios can be prevented, if - and only if - we start taking responsibility for the actions we commit.
