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!
Now It's Time for Action >
A Change is Gonna Come
The majority of my carbon footprint came from transportation and use of house appliances. Although I do not have many options to change my daily use of transportation, I am willing to take shorter showers, turn off the lights around the house, and unplug cords when I am not using them. I will also encourage my family to do the same. I am currently researching more ways to help save our environment. Check it out: http://cotap.org/reduce-carbon-footprint/
Besides that, I also wanted to explain how I feel like there is so much pressure on our generation to save the environment. We are living with so much new technology around us that is beneficial to the health of our environment and people rely on us to create and invent more ways to improve our planet. The next generations are counting on us for the future.
