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!

I think the thing that contributed to my carbon footprint the most was all the plane flights. I didn't realize how much they would add to my footprint. I always thought it would be low because of how many people the plane took. Also, my family really likes to travel so I don't think I can contribute to make that less of issue. What I can do though, is work in our backyard and to grow some fresh vegetables. Most importantly though, is that I limit how much I buy. I have recently started buying a lot of things from Amazon. I now realize how bad this is for our environment. The carbon produced from transporting the goods as well as the process of the making the items themselves must be terrible. What I can do is try to buy from more local businesses to limit my carbon footprint.
