My carbon footprint was pretty low in most areas except food. This was really surprising to me because I am vegetarian. I am not sure why food was the highest area for me. It could be because we eat three meals a day plus snacks but I am not sure. I think the way I could reduce this is by making sure my food is ethically grown and doesn't produce a lot of carbon. I don't really know other ways to reduce this area because I have to eat in order to live so it might just have to be higher than everything else in order to reduce my footprint. I can look at other areas and reduce them so that my footprint isn't as high. It is easier to lower things like electricity and around the house things than it is to lower food. I think that we all have to make sacrifices in order to bring down the carbon levels in the atmosphere currently because the rapid pace that carbon levels are rising is alarming. If everyone sacrifices something in their daily routine that could help lower carbon levels in the world then the whole planet would be better off. Carbon levels have risen more than 100 PPM (parts per million) in the last 100 years. This is crazy, the worlds PPM for carbon is above 400 PPM. Before it started rapidly increasing, the record was 300 PPM. The carbon crisis is definitely a result of over population because as the population increases, the amount of resources increase as well meaning that the carbon increases as a result. In conclusion everyone has to make sacrifices in their everyday life to make sure that we can get control over climate change before it becomes irreversible.
