Off The Table?
Transportation contributes massively to someone's carbon footprint. Although, I do not travel very far for school, vacations, sports, and even just traveling for any event contribute to how much I us transportation. I rarely use public transportation and plays crucial role in my carbon footprint. According to AutoGravity the average miles traveled by an American is about 13,476, whereas I travel about 15,000 miles a year. Transportation plays a key role in off the table emissions. Another prominent factor in my carbon footprint is home appliances. My house is not energy efficient, we often leave lights and other sources of energy on with use. The average number of light bulbs in an American House is around 45 and my house has about 60. We leave these lights on many hours a day and take a big chunk out of my carbon footprint (CBS News).Those are two major factors in the 'Off the Table' topic and release many emissions into the air that could easily be avoided.
