BUS 4075 FA20 Serious about Sustainability

Lets change the world together!

It's been going really well. Today I avoided 3 straws and bought a new Brita water filtration system instead of buying a set of plastic water bottles.

Coming to the end of the Ecochallenge, I feel like I've been a lot more motivated to follow these daily tasks. Whether it's spending more time outside, avoiding straws, or any of the tasks, it serves a greater purpose beyond just getting the task done for class. 

Wow, this would be a big challenge. Honestly I am not sure. You can cook the food in the skins etc. I researched a bit and found that corn cobs you can use to make broth, make sauces with vegetable tops, etc.  

Phones and tv etc. are so distracting and social media can even make you compare your life with others. By eating without distractions, it sets aside time each day off of your phone and without these distractions. I am able to rather connect with the people around me and think clearly. 

I like to exercise with friends. One way that I do this is by surfing. This includes time shared with friends, and is also time spent in nature. 

It reminds me about what is good around me, rather than what is bad. It makes me excited for the future and for a better world rather than focusing on what is hard. 

I think about countries in Europe and such who don't have as many clothing dryers but rather hang their clothes outside their windows and let the sun dry them. This would help reduce my own environmental footprint but I would need to do so with a whole load of laundry rather than still using a dryer for some items. 

Yes I could! I will be living off campus next semester with friends and I definitely could see us carpooling to school sometimes. We already go to the grocery store together and we have even talked about biking to the grocery store instead next semester. 

I think just day to day actions make a big impact. If everyone alters little things in their life it could make a big change. So, I am most called to work on informing my friends and family on what I have been learning, as well as reminding them of simple little things they can do to help like turning off lights that are unnecessary or not...
