Usually when I meditate I try and subtract all thought from my mind and focus solely on breathing instead of reflecting upon things.

One thing that I can do to reduce waste is to purchase more eco-friendly packaged food from market places instead of using my meal points to buy food on campus. It disgusts me the amount of waste that is created from ordering at any of the restaurants on campus. I do always bring my own bag when going to the Red Zone so I don't waste extra plastic by getting a new bag each time.

I mean I'm not quite sure if this is actually better for the environment or not, but this upcoming summer I'm carpooling to North Carolina in lou of flying so I'm still avoiding air travel.

When I found out that the fires in the Amazon rainforest were manmade to make space to grow cattle it disgusted me to the point that I didn't eat beef for a year. After doing more research I learned of countless other reasons that eating meat harms the environment, so I try my best to consume only 1 meal a day that contains meat and have the rest be vegetarian.

I have always loved growing plants, and I plant a new garden every spring. There's something so fulfilling about eating the fruit that you grew yourself (it also tastes better).
