    I was able to complete all of my goals again!  Some days are easier than others, but I'm getting more used to a sustainable lifestyle.

    My ecochallenge is going well so far, I've been remembering to turn off the lights in my room when I leave more often.

    It's going great, my campus has gotten over 2000 points in 2 days which is a good accomplishment so far.
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Waste Use a Reusable Water Bottle
    While water bottles are needed for health and safety in certain places, we can do more to reduce the unnecessary use of them. What are the barriers to you using reusable bottles and tap water instead of bottled water? How could you make this a permanent habit?

    One barrier to using reusable water bottles for me is that the tap water where I live is not the cleanest.  I could get a water bottle with a filter to encourage myself to use it more!
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Food Reduce Animal Products
    Why do people in richer countries eat more meat than people in other places? How does eating more meat affect our planet and other people?

    People in richer countries have more access to different types of foods like meat, and are able to afford them better.  This affects the planet because meat production emits harmful greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere and eventually damages it.

    Energy Turn it off
    How is electricity generated where you live? How does it impact the environment, animals, and humans?

    Most of the electricity here is powered by coal and fossil fuels, which impacts everyone on earth and has lasting consequences on the atmosphere.
