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!

Turning off the water when brushing your teeth
There was a recent Super Bowl commercial that showed how much water many people waste by not doing a simple task: turning off the faucet when brushing your teeth. On average, people who leave the water running while brushing their teeth waste up to 4 gallons of water per teeth brushing session. This is more water than many families have access to in a day! Next time you leave the water running while brushing your teeth, think of all the families who would love to be able to have a glass of clean water to drink instead of throwing it down the drain. Stop the waste and turn off the faucet when brushing your teeth.
I agree with you, turning off the tap while brushing your teeth it may seem like something not very important, but if everybody does it, it will make a difference
