My Carbon FootPrint Task 5

I have measured my carbon footprint and it turned out 3.05; some students had less than me and some had more than me. The average carbon footprint for our class CRB is 3.778.

The main factors for my carbon footprint are :

First comes the *Stuff*

Second comes the *Travel*

Third comes the *Home*

What can I do to reduce my carbon footprint?

I should stop spending lots of money buying stuff that release carbon into the world, which is immposible because everyone needs stuff that makes them smell nice.

Next comes the traveling part. I travel from place to place each year but the problem is that there aren't direct flights for all the countries. Abu Dhabi is a hot country. I cant move from place to place using buses and waiting for one on a sunny day where it is 40 degrees out. Most of the times I transpot using a taxi from home to the college and I guess it's the same as taking a bus.

After that comes my home; there is lots of carbon footprint because mostly we use air conditioners at home with the hot weather so most likely there is no other way that we can reduce this footprint.
At the end comes my food; well I have been on a diet lately and I mostly eat everything that can be eaten, I'm not a vegetarian. I go to the gym 6 times a week to train and stay healthy.
