ENST 246 : Environmental Activism

Clarissa Hand Mid Journal 4 Word count: 516 Overall, I am really struggling in trying to figure out the balance between all of this. I think it is supper interesting how there are certain components that I forgot were part of the challenge. For example, the whole food diet had just bounce part of my daily life. This great because that is why...

(Word Count: 608) This week, the additional daily challenge I decided to embark was going on daily walks. While I do always walk to class, by allotting twenty additional minutes a day to walk around campus and enjoy nature, I found it to be quite relaxing. With this being a fairly stressful time of the year, having some time to walk around...

EcoChallenges Week 4 Muxi You Due 3/7/19 Word Counts: 643   The EcoChallenges I have picked for this week is “go by bike” and “go for a daily walk”, which are not challenging at all because I selected them only because I need a challenge from the transportation/ nature category and there is no specific a suitable challenge for me to take at...

This week I added the daily challenges of exercising daily, enjoying the sunrise and/or sunset, cooking 1 meal a day with zero-waste, and conserving toilet water. I also added the one time challenges of using a resource to find where I can forage for my own food locally and spending at least 10 minutes finding out where to recycle the...

Things definitely were amped up this last week of the challenge, but we made it through! One challenge I chose to do this week was a personal waste audit. I had already done the carrying trash around challenge, and noted that I actually wasn’t ending up with all that much trash, meaning that most of my waste must be in recyclables. Because of...

Mid Journal Unit 2  This week, I added going strawless, paperless, and decluttering my room to my challenges. Paperless was a one-time challenge where I was supposed to sign up for electronic mail instead of paper mail but since I live at school I have yet to figure out an alternative to this, so when I go home I’m going to talk to my parents...

            This week I added challenges to my list in the waste water and energy categories. I also completed my added one time challenge of exploring my area by going on a nature walk or visiting a local trail from last week. For me this meant visiting R.B. Winter State park with a couple of friends. Although it was cold we missed the worst...

For this week I had chosen two new daily challenges to up my challenges to 10 daily, and two more one time challenges. I decided to choose supporting a sharing economy, meditating 15 minutes a day, trying a new way of prepping food, and exploring my area.  I decided to choose what I believed to be easier daily challenges at this point, as I...

This week was extremely interesting trying to figure out how to fulfill all the challenges I picked since the first week of EcoChallenge, when to fulfill them, and whether I was doing a good job doing so. Picking a challenge from all the categories EcoChallenge offered was a new challenge for me, as it made me explore areas that I was never...

Luke Grover  March 7, 2019 Mid-Journal Unit 2    This week was especially difficult. I feel and felt like I was overcome with things to do and exams to study for.
