We are the same in the way we use planes, and also hardly spend anything on clothes and beauty products. My dad has also been gradually lowering the temperature during the day, leaving it at 57 degrees Fahrenheit when nobody is home, and also keep it kind of warm during the summer. We never waste food if we can help it. We also recycle everything possible. The second person's lifestyle is almost nothing like mine. We have no solar panels, we are not vegetarian, we eat out every Friday, don't use public transportation or walk, and occasionally travel by plane. We do recycle, and turn down the temperature in the house depending on the weather, and do the same in reverse during the summer. ]]> 2019-02-19 14:43:37 UTC https://padlet.com/holden_steinbrink/c47qzo50h3se/wish/332703536 holden_steinbrink https://padlet.com/holden_steinbrink/c47qzo50h3se/wish/332710992 2019-02-19 14:53:26 UTC https://padlet.com/holden_steinbrink/c47qzo50h3se/wish/332710992 holden_steinbrink https://padlet.com/holden_steinbrink/c47qzo50h3se/wish/332715712 My first change would be to sell our petrol and diesel power cars and buy an electric one. This should almost completely reduce any greenhouse gases from cars, as no more gasoline or other fuels would be burned for energy.]]> 2019-02-19 15:00:48 UTC https://padlet.com/holden_steinbrink/c47qzo50h3se/wish/332715712 holden_steinbrink https://padlet.com/holden_steinbrink/c47qzo50h3se/wish/332718047 Reduce eating out to maybe once a week. During weekdays, we hardly ever eat out, but over weekends we may eat out two or three times. Usually, we'll go out a considerable distance pretty consistently, and even if we wanted to keep eating out, we could go to places a lot closer to our house.]]> 2019-02-19 15:04:38 UTC https://padlet.com/holden_steinbrink/c47qzo50h3se/wish/332718047 holden_steinbrink https://padlet.com/holden_steinbrink/c47qzo50h3se/wish/332947430 The third change I would make would be to cut down on flying. At first, we hardly ever flew, but we've begun to fly more and more, increasing our emissions exponentially. The obvious solution would be to drive, which may be just as bad to the environment. Unless you have that electric car.]]> 2019-02-19 21:31:29 UTC https://padlet.com/holden_steinbrink/c47qzo50h3se/wish/332947430
