Now that I have seen my results, I will try to turn off the water in the shower when I am not using it. I will also try to decrease the amount of times I fly and try to carpool with people to and from school/ sports practice. If I join a carpool, it decreases the amount of carbon emissions and increases my number of friends. I think it will be harder for me to have a nice shower if I keep turning the water on and off, but in the end it will be worth it. I will also take the initiative to wait until I see a recycling bin instead of hastily throwing away plastic water bottles when I am in a public place.

I think that is a great idea! I support your movement on recycling plastic bottles instead of throwing them away. According to the EPA, or the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, { www.epa.gov/…/options.htm#recycling } recycling materials such as plastic water bottles can save resources such as energy. Some other pros of recycling include production of a usable product, and saving space in landfills. Overall, I believe all your ideas on reducing your carbon footprint are great!

I think that is an awesome idea, Mia! I support all those ideas, but I would like to suggest another idea. Instead of you doing all these movements to decrease the amount of carbon emissions, you can also suggest these ideas to your family and friends at school and other places. Then, your friends and family can spread the word. Soon, your carbon footprint, your family's carbon footprint, your friends' carbon footprints, etc. Because of social media, you can also post ideas on Instagram, Twitter, and or Facebook.
