    Sometimes air travel is necessary.  Over seas or cross country trips are sometimes just not feasible with a car.  I drove on a recent trip which was only five hours and will be driving 8 hours later this month .

    In the area they accept many recyclable items which is very nice.  On our campus we have a single stream recycling but the issue is that so many things are not recyclable.  Also things that still contain food in them cannot be recycled.  This is a terrible thing and we do not instruct or educate people on how to properly recycle.

    The most concerning this is the denial.  We had an administration that for the last four years has completely denied the existence of global warming.  The administration defunded the EPA and negatively affected the environment.  We need stronger laws to stop companies from polluting here and around the world.

    Many people have an aversion to tap water.  In many places, tap water can taste rusty or have other metals that people do not want to ingest.  Using water purifiers can help to make the water taste better.  Additionally, we sell so many water bottles in stores that it becomes convenient for people to just use these.

    Many fruits and vegetables provide the same nutrients that meat can provide.  Fruits and vegetables create fewer pollutants than meat production.  If more people had greenhouses or gardens, then fewer trucks would have to ship these products.

    Along with working out for physical fitness, mental fitness is good to exercise too.  Fitting time into your day to spend time with friends or to take walks in nature areas.  Taking one hour out of your day to exercise your body and mind can greatly improve your quality of life.

    The meat industry is an expensive industry.  This means that meat is expensive for consumers to buy.  The meat industry is a huge polluter.  While poultry is the best for sustainability, red meat causes massive amounts of greenhouse gases.

    From an economical approach, the farmer is always in a harder situation.  With ever changing prices that farmers have to pay for feed and seed and how much they can sell their product for, farmers often amass huge debts until harvest.  Modern "sharecropping" from companies like Pilgrims Pride put farmers millions in debt with no way...

    You can write the local government or petition for replacing street lamps with LEDs which are bright and more energy efficient.

    I learned that trash pollution does not just gather in the oceans but in many rivers too.  This puts many environments in danger and many species.
