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!

Fracking
In Australia, a river only a few kilometers from a fracking site has become flammable. Fracking is a process in which toxic liquids are used to extract natural gas from holes in the ground. These toxic liquids, after use, are left to sit, and can seep into nearby rivers. According to 350.org, several other places in the United States, Latin America, and South America also have toxic flammable water, all close to fracking sites. Fracking is a dangerous and terrible industry, and must be stopped at all costs, or damage to water and land will be deadly.
