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!

Save Water!
http://premierwatersystems.com/how-much … ple-waste/ shows how much water we waste and use in a day. According to the website, the average person uses 80-100 gallons of water per day and we waste 76-95 gallons of it. There are little things that can prevent us from using so much water. You should turn your faucet off while brushing your teeth instead of leaving it on the whole two minutes. When you wash your dishes, don’t leave the faucet running. You should also take shorter and warmer showers. It is possible because I used to take 2-3 fifteen minute showers each day. But now, I take two 10 minute showers each day. While you wait for your water to warm up to take a shower, fill the water up with a bucket so you can water your plants with it. Make sure to check all of your faucets for leakage because one time, the faucet in my backyard was broken for weeks and we didn't even know it. Not only do all of these save water, but your money too.
