My carbon footprint was lower than I thought it would be. All of my scores were pretty low, except for travel. Last year I travelled a lot. I went on a round trip to Italy from California and also to LA 4 times to see my family. This year I haven't travelled as much, but I still think my footprint will be too high. My solution is reducing my local gas emissions. I have always driven to most places even if they are within walking distance. Now I have realized that by riding my bike and taking the bus everywhere, that I have seen a dramatic drop off in the times that I drive places. Even going to school, I now either carpool or take the bus home. This way I realized that I could reduce emissions by being sustainable in a local area almost as much as large scale stuff like plane rides.
