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!

Taking Action
In order to reduce my carbon footprint, I decided to start taking shorter showers with colder water instead of hot water. This was hard for me, but the impact it will have on the environment will make it worth it. Just by spending five minutes less in the shower will greatly reduce your carbon emissions. For me, less time spent in the shower would decrease my personal carbon footprint by 2,592 kilograms annually. I am also talking to my family about the amount of trash we produce and ways to reduce it.
