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 >
Make this problem clear!
Hey! My name is Jimmy Huynh and i'm a sophomore at Oakland High School. I don't have much knowledge on our carbon usage, but I have been doing research on our climate change problem. It is our job to prevent climate change.
Lessen your use of carbon, try to Fly less, flying can leave a huge carbon footprint. Get involved with your media and tell them you want to help stop climate change! Choose renewable sources and use them because renewable sources are going to become a big part in our future. Once all the nonrenewable sources are gone, that is what we are going to resort to! Use less energy, turn off a light or two when you leave a room. In fact you should turn off all lights you aren't using and all electronics that aren't being used, all this energy can be saved, and climate change can be stopped. With everyone in the world taking action, you can make a change.
This is a great idea! People should fly less on a regular basis. I also think spreading the news about your carbon footprint on social media is a great idea since it has a strong impact on spreading messages. This is a great idea!
Great Idea! I also think that people should fly less. Also that in the future, we are going to have to use renewable resources. So indeed we should turn off all the lights we aren't using and turn off the electronics that we aren't using. Great job!
