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!

Make right use of Solar Energy
Hi! My name is JJ, I'm from Guatemala.
While doing some research I found an article talking about implementing a system where roadways are covered in solar panels. I thought this was a good solution for many developing countries, like my own. Roadways are always hit by sunlight, making them a great location to place solar panels. This solar panels also have other interesting and useful features like LED lights to announce drivers of anything ahead of them. They also light up in the night to help drivers be safer.
I think this is a great way to deliver energy to a country since it is efficient and it will make a good impact on the environment.

They are still in research, but anyone can donate to help this become our reality.
Hi JJ, this is an interesting article. Utilizing solar energy in such large portions would definitely be beneficial to us- our economy, environment, and atmosphere -and would help orchestrate the growth of developing countries.
