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!

Turn off the lights!
We use electricity all the time, at school, at home, and for some of us in our cars. We can cut down our electricity use by simply turning off the lights. We should turn the lights off every time we are not in that room, and any chance we get to open a window and use the natural light coming in we should. This can all save money. Let's make a change together starting with just a switch
Great idea DJ A!, I agree with what you have to say about lights and electrical energy. With spring in full swing and summer around the corner it is the perfect time to open windows and keep those light switches turned off! Natural light should be the only light during the day and when the sun is out. Lights are not needed when we have this beautiful environment full of special things such as the sun providing us with such a gift.
