Hi guys after analyzed your results, please share with the community in which area would like to work for reduced the level of carbon footprint and suggest some actions, that you can to do in a short period to obtain positive results.

I would like to focus on meat industries and I would like to reduce carbon footprint from these industries because cows and sheeps emit large amounts of methane, which is a gas. "A vegan diet might make as much as a 20% difference to your overall carbon impact but simply cutting out beef will deliver a significant benefit on its own." Some things we can do to stop these gases to keep on damaging our planet is by eating a plant based diet. By changing meat into a healthier alternative, it is going to change the amount of greenhouse gases these industries are producing.

After doing the ISCF activity I realized my carbon footprint is actually huge. Most of the carbon came from traveling by plane and train, to reduce my footprint in the transportation area I can try to use a bike more often for short distances. Many of the people in our group had a major impact due to the traveling, in that area we will have a hard time lowering the impact. So I propose we try to lower it in the other areas by taking smaller actions.

The area in which my carbon footprint is greatest is in the home area, to reduce my carbon footprint, I propose to make small changes in my house, such as changing light bulbs for ones that are thrifty, also reducing the number of hours that I spend on the computer or on television and disconnect any device that is not in use. These small changes seem insignificant but they will make a difference.

Now that I have calculated my carbon footprint, I saw a great number that I didn't know about. I have realized that the area I have to take action is in my transportation. To reduce this number, I think I can try to walk more when it comes to short distances. Also, I can get a ride with other people using only one car for many people. In that way, we can reduce the pollution of many cars. Another thing I propose is to reduce the amount of gasoline we consume with my family by leaving earlier our house to avoid the traffic and the number of gallons we usually use. These are simple things that at a long term will make the difference and will reduce the impact of my carbon footprint.

The area in which my carbon footprint is higher is transportation. i think we need to change the way we move of one place to another. sometimes we don't need to use the car because the place we want to go is near, we should use another way to move, like a bicycle or just walk, but even that we still using the car. If everyone change the way to make the thing, the world will be different.

After I analyzing my results, I realized that I have a big footprint, and I wasn't aware of that. In general, I think that the community should care more about the transportation area. Most of the public transportation in Guatemala generates a  large amounts of gases that are harmful to the environment. In a short period, we should try using the less amount of cars possible by sharing transport with other people. Also, if the trip is short, we should try riding bikes or walk instead of using cars or public transportation.

hi

After calculating my Carbon Footprint, I realized that it is really high compared to my region. My highest area is food, so this is the one I want to focus on. While doing some research on the topic, I found out that beef has one of the highest CO2 emissions, and I eat beef almost every single day. Actually, according to Green Eatz's Food's Carbon Footprint article (http://www.greeneatz.com/foods-carbon-footprint.html), eating one kilogram of beef is the equivalent of driving 63 miles by car! This was the most shocking data I found. Luckily, there are certain simple ways in which I can improve my diet. One of them is trying different food, like tofu, which has a lower Carbon Footprint, and replace beef with it. Even if I do not become a vegetarian or a vegan, changing the menu some days is beneficial. Another interesting fact I found in the same article is that "Food’s carbon footprint, or foodprint, is the greenhouse gas emissions produced by growing, rearing, farming, processing, transporting, storing, cooking and disposing of the food you eat". This means that my Foot print would be reduced if I start buying products with less packaging. Finally, another interesting idea that I have always wanted to do and that now I value more because of the impact it can have on our environment, is growing my own vegetables at home. But having my own vegetable farm requires space, time, care and some investment, so it would be a long-term solution.
The best part of these solutions is that they not only help the environment, but are also good for our health and economy.

Karina Alejos: After analyzing my carbon footprint I realized that overall it was much higher in comparison to others, this is concerning. One of my highest was transportation, this could improve by changing the way in which I go from place to place. For example car pooling and taking less airplanes when possible could reduce this. I could also reduce food by reducing my consumption of animal products such as red meat. By changing my dies towards a vegetarian diet this could reduce carbon emission and help the

The area that differentiated more from the mean in my case is "Home". Before, I used to think that only because we use LED bulbs in my house I was already leaving a smaller carbon footprint on the environment, but when doing the calculation I realized that in my house we sometimes don't turn off the lights when we leave a room. In order to decrease my carbon footprint in my house I could turn off the lights when I leave a room, take shorter showers, reduce the amount of waste I produce or recycle it, and reuse all the paper I can.
