It's sounds very idealistic, but it's mostly just using resources available to you naturally to keep a balance.  It's houses and building getting most of their energy from solar or wind. It's reusing what you can...everything from composting food waste and repurposing plastic and glass as needed and using those resources to further support food...

Tiffany, I am so impressed with what you did here and especially impressed with the impact everyone on the team has made. Congratulations!

I really didn't know what else causes a large carbon footprint so I had to look some articles up on Google to figure this one out!

I kind of answered this in another reflection, so I'll use the same answer.  Mostly, it's for selfish reasons...
