    These resources taught me that old equipment such as building insulation foam, refrigerators and cooling systems, and foam insulation, that was manufactured before the global phaseout of CFCs and is still leaking the gases into the atmosphere. The offset calculator showed me that my household leaves a higher monthly footprint than the average US household. Knowing this, I will take the steps to ensure we lower our footprint and offset less CO2 each month.

    Voting is not accessible to everyone especially minorities and low income people. We should make voting available in every neighborhood
