REFLECTION QUESTIONEnergy Learn About Renewable EnergyWhat inspires you to act on sustainable energy and other energy issues?
Claire Wulf 4/03/2021 10:30 AMI remember crying over the photos of the BP oil spill when I was a kid. As I got older and learned more about energy, it seemed pointless that we are primarily using a form of energy that is harmful to everything in the world and is also finite. Fossil fuels will one day run out. It makes so much more sense to explore things like solar and wind power that are free and easy to harness while also being environmentally friendly. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONHealth HappinessHow does/can practicing gratitude keep you centered and motivated to work for a better world?
Claire Wulf 3/26/2021 9:54 PMSelf confidence is an important facet of optimism. When you believe in yourself, it is harder to fall into feelings of hopelessness and self doubt that counter act the work for a better world. -

REFLECTION QUESTIONWaste Personal Waste AuditWhy is it so difficult to understand the impacts our purchases and waste have on other people, animals, and places? How might your experience with this challenge impact your future consumption and choices?
Claire Wulf 3/16/2021 9:48 AMWhen things are thrown away, we tend to think of them as disappearing forever. Because our waste is out of sight, it goes out of our minds. By taking stock of the waste I created, I am more aware of the impact a single person can create in a week. I am going to attempt to reduce my trash creation to the point were I have to take out my trash half as often as I currently do. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONWaste Use a Reusable Water BottleWhile 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?
Claire Wulf 3/16/2021 9:45 AMI have been using reusable waterbottles every day for about a year now. It makes it easier to track how much water I'm drinking as well as saving money by not buying a bunch of plastic water bottles. If I do get plastic bottles, I either reuse them or repurpose them.
