Are there aspects of your daily life that you know contribute to your carbon footprint but you are unwilling to compromise to change them? In other words, what about your life is “off the table” when it comes to carbon emissions? It's OK to admit it- we all have these cherished behaviors!

Is travelling Off The Table?
One thing that would be very hard for people to give up is the impact of transportation on the environment. Almost everyone I know has taken an airplane at least a few times in their life. For me personally, transportation was my biggest carbon footprint emission. Clearly this is a topic that needs to be addressed. But is transportation (airplanes in particular) really something we can give up? Yes and no. While many people go on trips for fun, we need to start considering how much carbon it adds the environment. Until we can create more energy-efficient ways of travelling long-distance, people just need to be mindful of their impact on the environment.
