REFLECTION QUESTIONEnergyAfter you determined your carbon footprint, did you see what different choices you can make in order to reduce it?
Erin Dennis 10/21/2021 8:23 AMI realized that we can make the most impact by reducing our meat consumption. We've been able to get by with only one car since 2009, but when we go to eventually buy a new one we will choose electric. Unfortunately, my husband has to travel for work and takes at least 20 flights per year. Hopefully, we can offset that with other smart energy choices.
