Carbon Footprint

The topics that interested me the most during class was radioactive substances and their life expectancy. Their rate of decay is very intriguing and it's half-life is something that could be taken into consideration while associating with the radioactive substances we occasionally deal with today. 

Most of my own carbon footprint comes from using my car, motorcycle, energy use in my apartment, and trash from food or other items. I personally attempt to drive my car less, in order to save money for gas and also to limit carbon footprint. To decrease my carbon footprint at home, I turn off any lights that are not for intentional use, and unplug cords from outlets. To help with my trash habit with food, I attempt to bring home-cooked meals instead of buying food everyday.
