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 >
It Starts with Right Now
It time to take action for our environment. There are many different things that we can do but I believe the best option is to begin with yourself. Recycling is a huge thing. About $50 billion plastic water bottles are recycled each year. However, the U.S.'s recycling rate for plastic is only 23 percent, which means 38 billion water bottles – more than $1 billion worth of plastic – are wasted each year. Bottles that are not recycled go into our ocean and are harmful for animals. Choosing to recycle is the best option, you can not only help our enviornment but also turn in bottles in cans in return for money.
