Wow! I didn't realise how big my carbon footprint was until I compared it to my classmates. However, the majority of my family's comes transportation. All of my extended family lives in other countries and states so it's already pretty hard to see them more than once a year. Hopefully, we can figure out a way to make transportation more efficient, rather than cutting my family off completely. I do think flights are necessary in most cases because of family emergencies and such, but perhaps instead of flying to a nearby state, my family could take the train. And maybe when I go somewhere with a friend who lives nearby we can carpool. The solution to lessening our carbon footprint isn't sacrificing everything you like, but if everyone makes changes to their daily lives for the greater good, we can make a huge impact.

I like how you are surprised by your number was like I was. Most of my carbon emission also come from transportation. I like how you explain that the process in reducing your number is to do it in small steps because you can't just do it in one day.
