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!

Carly Jewell/ Saving Electricity
Electricity was the area of biggest concern when I calculated my carbon footprint. People say they want to improve our environment and use less but don't want to completely change their way of life. I found an article that lays out simple tips of how to save electricity and shows how much money you can save while doing these simple tips. Many of the tips I knew about but still was not doing them in my home. There are also some in the article that I never thought about. I also love that they included the amount of money you can save because that usually motivates people.
