Hi Navigators!
I recently took the Impact Quiz and had a score of 12 points by the end. Living in New York has actually allowed me to reduce my carbon footprint by quite a bit. I walk everywhere and take public transportation rather than driving a car like I used to. Furthermore, I really try to make an effort to turn off all appliances before leaving the house for the day as well as separating our trash from things that can easily be recycled. I noticed that my score was about average in comparison to this collaboration. However, I think I could do a better job by trying to purchase more energy efficient bulbs and reusable batteries, as well as reusing and repurposing household and clothing items.
