Good Evening,

I wanted to talk about my carbon Footprint for this blog assignment. I used the website,” http://www.yousustain.com/footprint/carbon” to get my information. I loaded my data using the questions and it concluded that I used 11.11 metric tons per year. According to the Co2e calculator, that equals to about 1.67 metric of Co2e. The average Footprint data for people in the United States is 16.49 metric tons. I also noticed that worldwide target to combat climate change is 2 metric tons.

After answering those questions, I felt like now I can cut back on some of my secondary needs. I was really surprised by how much this can affect the environment.  I should start ordering books and magazines on my kindle. I can save on paper goods. I would also save on clutter. I would also like to try to start cutting back on going to eat a restaurants and ordering take out. Certain stuff cant be avoided like insurance, loan payments and the usage of a vehicle. I would start with small changes and I feel that would lead to a changing lifestyle and environment.  If 6 households brought a fuel efficient car within the year that would reduce the CO2 by 11.11 tons
