REDUCE YOUR CARBON FOOTPRINT
Furthering my cause is the most important goal of my campaign. The reason for my campaign is because young in todays society don't really understand what carbon footprint is and why it is such a big issue. I seek to help more people understand the amount of carbon we are using everyday, has an impact on our lives which will get worse if we don't do something about it as soon as possible. I am making a platform to spread awareness to young people ages 16 to 24 on how we can reduce our carbon footprints as a whole.
