This calculator of my carbon footprint was very eye opening because, although I was much below the United States average, I was still higher than the global average.  It really put into perspective the things I do in my daily life that either increase/decrease my carbon footprint.  Also with the pandemic, my footprint is less because I am not driving as much so I want to be more aware going forward of when I can say, bike or walk instead of driving a car.  I also was unaware the ways that my home system and lights contributed to my carbon footprint, and now I am more aware of when I am using such things and when its not necessary.  I definitely enjoyed learning about this and would love to take it a year from now, to see any choices I made or changes that could have lessened my footprint.  Some actions I am going to take now are reducing the amount of trash, driving less, and using natural light over indoor lights when I can.

I completely agree, my results were the same. I think this experience was really eye-opening to how my actions affect the planet. I think it's safe to say I will definitely be more cautious with my actions now. I hope others took away as much as we did and change some things in their routine or try new things out to help the environment.
