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!

Plastic Things
According the data I found in the Internet, I realize that plastic occupies an large place in human's daily waste and for the plastic waste, we waste plastic bottles or plastic bags most. I really want to change this situation. Actually, in some way, I think this is difficult to improve. Why? First of all, due to the convenience of plastic things, individuals definitely do not want to lose it. In tradition, individuals will always consider when we use plastic things once, they will be too dirty to use them twice. Also, plastic things are usually cheaper than something made up by other materials, so, when people lose something made up by plastic, they seldom feel different.
Even though we have garbage classification now, in some countries, people will not pay much attention on it. Most time, the classification seems does not work so well.
For me, I will try bring myself bottle and my own bag when I am outside for activities or shopping. Also, I will tell my communi ty to throw the garbages in the right place. Though they are all small things to do, I believe if everyone can start out small, it will change a lot.
