8.5 Take action

2.06. Not the best score, but probably not the most accurate… I know I would increase my “planet number” if I took into account the flights made in the last few years. But then, for the time spent in-country in between these flights I have been living very simply, eating local food, traveling mostly by foot. No heating; no air con; no house, in a couple of trips; a small fire to cook food; electricity from solar panels…

This test has made me think about the things that do affect climate change. The metals mined to produce jewelry and electronics as well as the more obvious flights and meat-eating. I could certainly do better, and will make more of an effort from here on in!
