Lately, I have been thinking a lot about my carbon footprint. According to carbonfootprint.com
A Carbon Footprint is a measure of the impact human activities have on the environment in terms of the amount of green house gases produced, measured in units of carbon dioxide.

Basically, it means how much you are helping/hurting the Earth. There are many ways to decrease your carbon footprint such as decrease the amount of carbon dioxide you make or you can offset what you make by planting trees etc. You can calculate your carbon footprint at: http://www.carbonfootprint.com/calculator.aspx

One small way that I have begun reducing my footprint is that I  started is recycling. I know, welcome to the 21st century Rachel. We learned reduce, reuse and recycle back in grade school. But the idea of paying to recycle and the effort it would take was enough to put it out of my mind. Then after reading a Rob Bell article that said that Christians should be looking after the Earth something struck a cord. I never really thought about being a good steward of the Earth and how that was honoring to God. So, I am taking baby steps to help save the Earth, or maybe make it just a little bit better from the poor mess we have made.

A small milestone: the first piece we have recycled.
