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!

Waking Up The Older Generation
In my opinion, the biggest problem we have is that people don't know much about climate change. We, as a planet, cannot start any big movements without most of the human population behind us. When most people hear the terms "global warming" or "climate change" they don't realize that it will affect them and their children, most people seem to think it it in the distant future.
Most students know about climate change and global warming because we are taught it in school, adults on the other hand, know little to nothing. The problem with this is that we, the younger generation, can't do much to influencing stricter policies on C02 emissions, even though it will be affecting us. If we don't get the information out to the older generation, they might live through what they've done to the planet, but we wont.
