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!

Reducing my carbon footprint
After using the carbon footprint calculator I realized that most of my carbon footprint comes from my home. Due to COVID me and my family have been spending way more time at home, than we used to. Because we are all home now the lights are on more and, and more utilities are being used. I think that I personally could make sure that all lights are turned off when they aren't being used, and I could also make sure that I am not using things like AC and heat as little as possible. I also think that getting solar panels would really help. Since electricity comes from fossil fuels it creates greenhouse gasses, and using solar panels could help reduce the amount of greenhouse gasses we are producing. Also, my family has an electric car I can make sure that we drive the electric car as much as possible. I think that doing these things will help my carbon footprint go down, and will help reduce the amount of greenhouse gases I am producing.
