    The thing that stood out to me the most was that I am 31% better than the average in terms of my carbon footprint. I have pledge some activities I will continuously work on doing in order to increase that percentage. The surprising thing to me is your carbon footprint can be reduced with how you change your diet. I would like to do more research around that in order to understand how I can commit to that.

      Its all about sustainable practices - meaning they have to also be sustainable for us or we won't do them! Really like your commitment to researching to find things that will work for you!
