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!
Off the Table? >
How can we balance transportation and the need to be sustainable?
Although a lot of carbon emissions are produced by forms of transportation such as cars, planes, cruise ships, and any vehicle that requires gas, I believe that there are exceptions to the need to be sustainable. Many people have family across the world or maybe even just a couple of hours away, these people should be able to visit their family without the guilt of carbon pollution. The human species should take steps to combat climate change but what is it worth if we put all life on pause? I believe it is the job of local and federal governments to implement more public transport in their cities instead of pressuring average Americans to not see their family.
