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!

Making Everyday Earth Day
Recently last week my school Bishop O'dowd High School dedicated the whole week to earth by conserving energy and limiting the amount of water we use. The lights were turned off in the annex and cafeteria during the day and the toilets flushed with a limited capacity of water. Also in the cafeteria, food was served without meat with many vegetarian meals to show the students how much water is used to produce meat. Although it felt very weird to have these changes adjusted to my school I think that we should start improving and leaning to this environment everyday we can. We should feel comfortable having lights turned off when the sun is out and eating more produce type meals instead of just meat. This way we can conserve for the future and make our environment the best it can be!
what a great idea, thank you for sharing that with all of us!
