Hi, my name is Mattia, I live in the north of Italy, I calculated my carbon footprint, which is the following : 10425 Kg
transportation: 1484 kg, more than my region because I live in mountain and there aren’t a lot of public transportation.
home: 4430 kg, more than my region because in the mountain the temperature is cold and I turn on my warming-up many months.
food: 3802 kg, less than my region
purchases: 709 kg, less than my region
I’d like to decrease my carbon footprint!!! Have you got any suggestions?

hi everyone!
In many places of the world, people are using CO2. Even though people are trying to help save the world, most people do not make a lot problem help the earth and create less CO2, reduce purchases, to use public transport, to eat organic foods, and not heat or cool homes as they often do normally.

hi!
Because of where I live I have found it difficult to reduce my carbon footprint, transport. I live about 20 km away from the school and more than 20 km from almost every other place I need to be in order to go out with my friends or doing things that I need.
In the case of technology, the computer is almost essential in today’s society. Mobile phones are becoming always popular of the home phone based on the fact that they can found people when we need them. I think it would be very difficult to give up the phone.

The culture of organic food is to be carried out because it is very beneficial to human life even if the costs are quite high. There should be agricultural policies that prevent the use of certain pesticides and harmful treatments to humans not only to animals.

It seems to me like having the latest technology is usually not a need. I don’t really see a huge difference between the newest version of the Iphone and the last generation. I think that it’s fine to upgrade every few generations when it gets to the point that what you have is completely unusable compared to new things.

hello! My name is Eleanora, i’ve 17 years old and I live in the north of Italy. World hunger is a serious problem, many people in the past have moved to solve it but the success rate was very low because people do not have the food to be able to survive are many. The difference between one and the other part of the world is really great because in underdeveloped countries or continents, the percentage of daily food is very low while in developed countries such as Europe and the food is really this cause, in some cases, even the problem of excess food, thus obesity.

The problem of food is very common in underdeveloped countries with small but especially in developed countries the problem is the amount of food that is thrown away, but also the quality of food is important. In my country, the quality of food is great because everyone grows fruit and vegetables without treatment. I grow fruit and vegetables without treatments and genuine mainly because the products are not imported and do not make me thousands of kilometers.For the quality of food is important at times we are not aware of eating and shoddy products by paying a high price.

Hi Alex. I have seen a lot of post from people north of Italy that use more energy than most Italians do. The winters must be very cold where you live if you need to use so much heat, but it seems that your transportation and purchases are in a good range.
