I also eat meat in some meals while the fake person is a vegetarian. Although, like the fake person, I rarely eat out and I don't spend a lot on clothing or health and beauty products. On the other hand, I do keep my house warm in the winter rather than cool. I also travel by car rather than public transportation. However, I do recycle everything I can like the fake person. Yet again, while the fake person take a short flight once a year, I take none. Overall this makes the fake person's carbon footprint much better than mine currently is.]]> 2019-02-13 17:52:17 UTC https://padlet.com/julianna_hartman/u1bsz7fxwt9v/wish/330942982 julianna_hartman https://padlet.com/julianna_hartman/u1bsz7fxwt9v/wish/330946673 Unlike the fake person described in the second description, I live in a four bedroom detached house with two people over the age of 17. I also waste some food and eat meat in some meals while the fake person wastes no food and eats vegetarian with occasional fish. Also unlike the fake person, I do not have any solar panels at my house. While the they do not drive or use public transportation, I am driven in a car to all my destinations. I do try to recycle everything like the fake person. I also don't travel on the plane like them.  On the other hand, I do keep my house warm in the winter rather than cool. I also use a electricity powered stove. While the fake person never eats out, I rarely eat out. Although I do rarely buy clothes or health and beauty products.  Overall this makes the fake person's carbon footprint far better than mine.]]> 2019-02-13 17:57:51 UTC https://padlet.com/julianna_hartman/u1bsz7fxwt9v/wish/330946673 julianna_hartman https://padlet.com/julianna_hartman/u1bsz7fxwt9v/wish/330952559 One way I can improve my carbon footprint is switching energy providers. Renewable Energy companies have been driving changes in the energy market and are now providing cheap and sustainable energy.]]> 2019-02-13 18:07:45 UTC https://padlet.com/julianna_hartman/u1bsz7fxwt9v/wish/330952559 julianna_hartman https://padlet.com/julianna_hartman/u1bsz7fxwt9v/wish/330957814 Another way I can improve my carbon footprint is buying second-hand clothing. Charity and second-hand shops have excellent product control procedures, which means the clothes within them have high quality.]]> 2019-02-13 18:15:26 UTC https://padlet.com/julianna_hartman/u1bsz7fxwt9v/wish/330957814 julianna_hartman https://padlet.com/julianna_hartman/u1bsz7fxwt9v/wish/330958710  A third way to change my footprint is eating less meat and dairy. One of the most important changes you can make to the environment is changing your diet. The production of meat and dairy products is one of the major causes of greenhouse gas emissions.]]> 2019-02-13 18:16:46 UTC https://padlet.com/julianna_hartman/u1bsz7fxwt9v/wish/330958710 julianna_hartman https://padlet.com/julianna_hartman/u1bsz7fxwt9v/wish/331054107 The last way I am going to show to change my footprint is to cycle to my destinations rather than drive. The most eco-friendly mode of transport is cycling, it creates no emission, uses no resources and keeps you fit and healthy.]]> 2019-02-13 21:17:00 UTC https://padlet.com/julianna_hartman/u1bsz7fxwt9v/wish/331054107 julianna_hartman https://padlet.com/julianna_hartman/u1bsz7fxwt9v/wish/331056096 After applying these changes, my carbon footprint drastically decreased.]]> 2019-02-13 21:23:26 UTC https://padlet.com/julianna_hartman/u1bsz7fxwt9v/wish/331056096
