Go carbon neutral
We all need to take responsibility for solving the issue of global climate change. One way to do this is to reduce our total carbon emissions. That means doing things like turning off the lights when we leave a room, taking public transportation when possible, etc. Taking this one step farther — for our remaining emissions — we can purchase “carbon offsets.” What are carbon offsets? Simply put, they are an emission reduction credit from an environmentally-friendly project (such as a wind farm) that results in less greenhouse gases. Essentially, you’re investing in renewable energy sources to offset your carbon footprint. This weekend, spend some time investigating carbon offsets and learning how to go carbon neutral. Being part of the solution feels fantastic and eliminates guilt, too. _(We’ve given you 2 days for this Challenge.

Another way to do so is RESPONSIBLE eating practices. If you were truly sustainable you would not use milk products in virtually every product you sell. Milk (and meat) means a large cow population (it is currently 56 billion), a large cow population means alot of methane released into the atmosphere. Methane is 23 times more potent than CO2 as a greenhouse gas. On all of the granola bars it is the second last ingredient, is this really necessary? Until it is removed, a large group of students at my school and I refuse to support your “sustainable” practices.

Another challenge done. I always turn the lights off and always take public transportation.
I also try to not use plastic bags. Anytime I can stick stuff in my tote, I do it, and I feel great about it.
