REFLECTION QUESTIONEnergy Learn About Renewable EnergyWhat inspires you to act on sustainable energy and other energy issues?
Mikaela Lindell 5/01/2020 11:58 AMI am inspired to act on sustainable energy issues because I know that energy use is affecting climate change. I am inspired to take daily action and explain to others the importance of reducing our use of natural gases that contribute to the rising co2 levels. I want a healthy and happy planet for the future, so I will do my part now. -

Mikaela Lindell 4/23/2020 10:58 AMSomething that has been hard for me has been trying to teach my family the importance of reducing waste. My mom is more likely to choose the easy option, instead of the most sustainable option. Moving back into my parents house during the quarantine had made me realized this problem. Has anybody else struggled with this? How do you motivate your family to be more aware of their actions?
