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 >
What can we do to impact the environment?
There are several simple things we can do to improve the air, including carpooling, turning off the lights, and reduce our water use. Everyone around the world takes advantage of resources we have, but we should be aware of how we are effecting the environment. If everyone in the world changed a few things they do everyday, our air would be so much healthier. Some challenges we might have is that people don't want to change.

I agree. I think if we limit our use of energy, we can help save the environment and make sure we have enough energy to use in the future.
I also agree that if we as a whole use less fossil fuels it will greatly affect our environment in a good way though. It will make us healthier and use less of the fossil fuels that we only have so much of
@dylanthepickle good point
