Carbon Footprint

24.8 tons of CO2. That is my carbon footprint. 33% of that is from commuting to USF. Food and services make up more than 50% of it. These three thing are hard to cut out of my life to reduce my carbon footprint. I cant afford living on campus, so that could not be cost effective. There is no public transportation that runs from my house to USF. If I was able to live on campus, my transportation footprint would be reduced, but my housing footprint would grow. For me to try to reduce my footprint, it would cost way too much. I already have one of the best cars for the enviroment that is within my budget. I drive a civic and get about 31 miles per gallon. Not much room for improvement without spending tons of money on a hybrid, but even then they are not that much better, and replacing something by buying new rarly is a smart move for the enviroment. Right now, although i haven't been trying, i am really living as "green" as my budget allows.
