Comm 486

My carbon foot print is currently at 4.25, which is well below the average of most Canadians. I think that one of the reasons that my it is so low is because I bike a lot during the summer, and that I only use a car when going on road trips during the summer. Otherwise I am either on the bus or on my bike for roughly 9 months out of the 12. 

Where I do add to my carbon footprint is my love of eating meat. I have a meat heavy diet and that, inadvertently causes my living style in give off more carbon. The meat itself isn’t giving off gases into the atmosphere, rather the process of preparing the meat emits roughly 13 times more than eating potato. 

To further cut down my carbon footprint I should focus on eating less meat and maybe try more vegetables. Although I am not doing poorly right now, there is always room for improvement. I do however, think that there are things that need to be more accurate when asking for measurements. Sometimes I feel that my answer doesn’t fall too strongly on the answers provided.
