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!

time for action
I think we should control how much we eat in America. Also i think we should all compost to leave a smaller carbon footprint. Also I think we should limit are technology use such as phones, computers and TV's.
In a perfect world, people would listen to this statement and actually commit it to their daily habits. There needs to be great change in how much people should eat. There is obesity and I think that some people probably don't know when to just stop eating. There should be some way to inform people on serving sizes, such as explaining the serving size on menus. Since it isn't a perfect world, I highly doubt people will actually stop using electronics. I've heard people jump off train platforms to get their iPhone that they accidentally dropped. It will take years and maybe a serious situation for people to actually take a big break from technology.
This is so true Brenden! If people composted and limited technology usage the earth would become a cleaner greener home.
