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 >
Making Changes...
According to numerous sources on the website, including National Geographic and Nasa, greenhouse gas concentration levels have shot up in the past 100 years. This is causing our planet to overheat. According to an article on the LiveScience website, the global warming is causing ice caps to melt, ocean acidity levels to rise, and making extreme weather events more likely to occur. We must take action and do anything we can to prevent the earth from overheating further. I plan on doing this by recycling cans and bottles, taking shorter showers, and biking to my friend's house. It may be a challenge to always remember to recycle or bike to a friends house when I'm tired, but I am willing to take these actions. In doing this I will be able to reduce my carbon dioxide emissions and contribute to fixing the problem that is taking place.
