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!

Multi-button Toilets
If you've ever been to a different country you may have seen these types of toilets. We in America use about 1.6 gallons of water PER EVERY FLUSH. Some older toilets even use anywhere from 3.5 to 7 gallons! That is a lot of water to use for just disposing of waste. In other countries, there are toilets that use different amounts of water for different types of waste. For urine, there is a button and it uses a lot less water because it doesn't require as much water. Solid waste however requires a little bit more than urine so you push the other button. I believe that we need to have these put in the United States of America because it saves so much water and it will help the USA to reduce its total carbon footprint!!!
