| 😭 | Very Poor (-2400 to -1400)Recognizing that your carbon footprint is a problem is the first step to improving your habits! If you fell into this category, you likely have not been conscious of how your actions impact the environment. One of the biggest ways to start reducing your carbon footprint is by starting with small changes you can make in your every day living. Taking shorter showers or buying sustainable products are some great ways to get started! |
| 😢 | Poor (-1400 to -500)A score in this range demonstrates that you occassionally make conscious decisions to reduce your carbon footprint. You probably do your best to conserve energy and recycle or reuse products you don't need anymore. However, you may not be aware of the impacts of more significant day to day habits. One of the biggest carbon contributors is the carbon emissions from cars. Try looking into less harmful options like public transportation or, even better, walking or biking! |
| 😐 | Neutral (-500 to 400)Congratulations! A score in the neutral range demonstrates that you actively take steps to reduce your carbon footprint. You are also more environmentally aware than the majority of your peers. Most people in this score range are aware of the biggest contributors to carbon emissions: non eco-friendly transportation and energy or power sources. One lesser known contributor is your diet, or the way that you eat! To improve your carbon footprint, try cutting down on meat, especially beef. |
