    Now that we are coming to an end with the campus eco challenge, i do feel like i have learned a lot through it. Not to mention, majority of my habits now have been changed for me to live a more sustainable day to day life.

    Seeing how invested my school is in regards to overall sustainability encourages me to learn more about it and to live a sustainable lifestyle as well. Not only is my school invested in this but also, communities all over the island as well. Adding that on, it brings me to the realization of giving more back to the island since we constantly take from it.

    Many states and countries have advisories on eating fish. Find out what is advised for your region. Do you think your diet choices fall within these guidelines? What steps do you need to take to make sure that they do?

    I do belive that my diet choices fall within these guidelines. I will however change a couple things for me to fully fall within the given guidelines.

    Water Insulate Water Pipes and Water Heater
    How do you think climate change will affect your region’s water supply? Think about the effects of weather, storms, salinity, and sea level rise, among other changes. How can you find out more about climate change’s impact to your region's water?

    I think the biggest affect climate change would have on us is sea level rise, due to the fact that we live on an island lol. The amount of land on the island would decrease, and many would lose their homes. Also, with the warming of the climate the oceans would warm up to causing coral reefs to be destroyed. With that ocean animals lose their homes, and die off. Less fish in the sea, less food for us humans. It's all a big cycle where when one thing is affected, everything ends up being affected. :P

    With doing this challenge, I have noticed that I am not attached to my phone now compared to before. It is refreshing being off of my phone for long periods of time throughout the day. It was not that hard to choose other activities over my screen time actually. I decided to spend my time either going for a walk, cleaning more around the house/organizing spaces throughout my house as well.

    Simplicity Disconnect from Email
    Notice how much time you were spending checking email away from work and make note of that. Now that you have stepped away from it and have not been checking, what changes are you noticing in your thoughts, use of time, stress and energy levels?

    I have noticed that I am less stressed out than I usally am, especially when it comes to school. Since school has started up again and we’re coming to an end, emails about blackboard, projects, homework, etc, has taken a toll on me. Taking a break out of my day from my emails has helped me a lot with my stress.

    I would simply just add it to my savings for something big, or put it towards school in helping my mom pay for my tuition :)
