My family footprint is very much larger than the average, but sadly it's inevitable. My family consists of 6 people and we live in an area that's a 20 minute drive to the groceries, 30 minute drive to school, 40 minute drive to church, 30 minute drive to my dance class, and more than 30 minutes if we want to visit other family and or friends. Since we use transportation so much, we try and do whatever we can inside the house, so it doesn't become even higher than it already is. We use solar energy, we recycle, we turn off any power source that we don't use, and we only visit family and friends only when it's been a very long time. I have to say though, Covid has definitely helped with my family's carbon footprint because now we don't drive to school anymore, we do online church, we only recently started to go back to my socially distanced dance class, and we don't visit family or friends anymore. If I wanted to change my family's ways, there's only so much I can do. Public transportation isn't really an option here, and it doesn't go to the places we have to go to. We can't go to the groceries any less since most of my family is either at the average weight or even underweight. My family's also catholic so we have to go to church every Sunday. Now things I've thought that my family could do are eating less meat, stop going to dance class (since we need to focus on high school anyway), make sure we all take a maximum of 15 minute showers, and carpool as much as we can.
