Callen Holguin 4/18/2018 10:32 AMI wish there was a way to track all of our carbon footprints. Like food production, food and personal transportation, energy use, hot water, HVAC, even physical emissions. I think identifying the worst culprits would allow me to cut back on that specific area. I assume currently the bus, food transportation/production are my worst offenders. I should eat more locally grown food.....and fix my bike -
