MY FOOTPRINT
What can I do to improve my carbon footprint?
My carbon footprint is drastically high, surpassing the world's average impact and even the United kingdom's impact, although I still take it with a grain of salt, because, even though this quiz is quite complete, it doesn't cover some activities people do that may reduce their carbon footprint or even increase it. Still I should probably start doing some things to reduce my impact on the world like recycling paper, plastic and glass, or unplugging appliances, not just leaving them on standby.

To be honest, I think my carbon footprint would be bigger than 95%. I know that is a little high for a carbon footprint but now I know what I have to do to reduce it. I think the 95% is mainly due to the high energy consumption that occurs in my house. I should talk to my parents about switching to a renewable energy company and, that way, I could reduce my carbon footprint and, at the same time, theirs. I think this quiz was a great way to make people aware of their carbon impact and the urge of the environment preservation. (Sofia Vicente)
I thought my footprint was going to be very high, but I was relieved to see it at 85%. Nonetheless, I want to challenge myself and my family to bring that percentage down a bit. I could start by travelling less by car in order to get an 80% the next time I take this quiz.
