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 >
We need to make the change and not sit by
Slowly our planet is beginning to change before our eyes and if we don't stand for something it will unravel quickly. Our planet will heat up over time so we need to find ways to change and we need them to change as soon as possible. Whether it's lobbying with politicians to get better laws and constraints that would help provide a safer healthier environment even as simple as providing more recycling bins around the city. Even the smallest things help and I think what a lot of people don't realize (myself included) is how much of a difference people of any age can make. One person picking up garbage or choosing the more environmentally kind way to travel helps. What we need to do is get people to stand up and even just do the small things because the small things all add up to something big.
I agree, we do need to do something about global warming. I think making everyone aware of how quickly everything is changing would help. If everyone was conscious of the environment, things might change. I think we should try to reuse recyclable things like bags and plastic containers because even though they are being recycled, that whole process of making them into something else emits lots of co2 into the atmosphere because it uses lots of energy from factories
