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!

Lights in my house
One thing that I can do to lower my carbon footprint is to turn on my lights later in the evening than I currently do. What I do right now is turn on my lights when the sun goes down. What I may start doing is going outside when the sun goes down. Summer is approaching, which means the nights will be warmer, so I should enjoy being outdoors. While I am outside, my lights will stay off until I go in. This means that I will turn them on 30-60 later than I normally do. This will use much less electricity than I do now, which will lower my carbon footprint.
