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 >
Changing Our Carbon Footprint
If we do not take action in the next few years to come, our Earth will be severely damaged from the pollution that we are adding to our atmosphere. However, there is a way that we can improve the quality of our air. Taking action to change our carbon footprint can help to increase the quality of our atmosphere. Some different ways that you can improve your carbon footprint just in your houses include; turning off the lights after you leave a room, sorting your trash into the recycling, compost, and trash bins, and finally using re-usable containers and water bottles is a great way to reduce plastic usage! Even helping to plant a tree or vegetables in a garden is a great way to help keep our air clean.
Yes I totally agree with you. But don't you think this is easier said than done due to the fact of old habits. Is it really possible to get the whole world to make these small changes.
I agree with you. I like the idea of recycling re-usable containers and water bottles. And even by planting and gardening.
I agree with you all the way but its definitely easier said than done. But Im not sure if its really possible to get the whole world to make these small little changes.
It is very important to do this, but the question is if we can change our habits in time. Scientists predict that if the global temperatures rise by 2 degrees Celsius, what we have done will be irreversible. We have already risen by at least a degree, so the time for action is now.
I agree, there are so many small changes people can make to their lives that can make a big difference if enough people do it.
I also agree with you. We definitely need to do something about the amount of pollution in the atmosphere and in the ocean. Something we can do which is quite easy is too recycle more and compost.
