5. Demographic factors (household size, city size, population density), institutional and economic factors (availability of public transport at reasonable cost/convenience), and a host of behavioral factors (propensity to walk, bike, carpool, or drive solo to work) can influence a person’s carbon footprint.

What is one way that you think you could reasonably reduce your carbon footprint?
