All of you have calculated your emissions and you have surely discovered the unexpectedly high impact of some of your behaviors (eating meat, flying to a sunny destination, etc.) on your total footprints.
Are there any behaviors that you are really willing to change or to improve for the sake of the environment? What challenges do you encounter or think you will encounter while trying to change these things? What help, support, and insights from others would make your life easier with these new behaviors?
Let's discuss these issues and make our pledges here!

climate change can be overwhelming. A carbon footprint is the total amount of greenhouse gas emissions. Greenhouse gas includes carbon dioxide which is emitted by humans. This will trap heat in atmosphere and cause a global warming. Usually the most amount of carbon footprint comes from food, housing, and transportation. To reduce the amount of carbon footprint first thing we have to do is drive less. Besides driving you can ride a bike or use train/bus. Second, thing you can do to reduce the amount of carbon footprint is to eat less meat. Research shows that eating less red meat is better for the environment. Because the production of red meat uses a lot of feed, water and land. Cows themselves also gives off methane emissions. Lastly, and one of the most important thing you can to reduce the amount of carbon footprint is in your home. You can turn down the heat, turn off light and appliances when you are not using them and replace lights to LED lights. You can do more than these things to reduce the amount of carbon footprint but these are the three most important thing to do in my opinion.
