Considering that I live in a country that has a large consumption of resources compared to other countries in the world, I was not surprised to see that my carbon footprint was higher than desired level. My carbon footprint was 15.64 tons of CO2e when I tested it on a website, and there are many things in my lifestyle that led to it reaching that high level. By far the biggest contributor to my carbon footprint was the use of my car. I wasn't surprised to see this as I use my machine quite often. Even though I live on campus, I have my car with me so I can visit my family during my free time. I visit them about once a week and I also have a guitar lesson that I attend, also once a week. All of this really impacts the millage and, of course, my carbon footprint. This section consisted mostly of food but also had questions related to the type of car you drove, fashion, and other things. My score for the “secondary” section was an astonishing 6.58 tonnes of CO2e. I think what made it so high was the fact that I don't recycle often. I only do it when given the opportunity, but I don't go out of my way to do it and I think it's a problem I need to solve because recycling is very important. The used products are thrown away and, through recycling, are reused. Recycling is a great way to keep my carbon footprint low and also helps to help the environment. Something I could do to help the environment even more is composting. Composting not only reduces your carbon footprint through recycling, but also helps the ecosystem enormously. By letting organic produce rot in the soil, you help new vegetation grow. The soil is able to absorb all the healthy nutrients contained in organic produce and with it you can grow more organic vegetation, which helps support the environment because nothing goes bad.
