Ways that I can can help to reduce my carbon footprint are by taking shorter showers, and stop buying things that I may not need. I've noticed at personally, but also as a society, we tend to buy and do things to make our lives easier, disregarding the effect it has on others and our environment.  Ways that I tend to disregard the earth are by taking longer showers just so that I can be more comfortable. I also drive places that I could easily walk to. By doing so I am creating more pollution and creating lazy habits. I will work to improve on my lazy habits and put more thought and consideration into my lifestyle choices.
