  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Food Buy From a Farmers Market
    What is one food choice that you make, or could make, that would do more good and less harm?

    I am a pescatarian, so the only meat I eat is fish. That helps stop global warming because the killing and processing the animals for meat takes factories which puts chemicals into the atmosphere therefore heating up the planet. So the more people stop eating meat, the less chemicals are released.
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Waste Choose Two-Sided Printing
    Choosing two-sided printing can be an easy adjustment on your computer settings. How can you help others make this same switch? Can it be encouraged company wide?

    The easiest way to help others make this switch is for the default setting to be two-sided so if people are really opposed they can switch it while everyone who wants it doesn't have to remember to push the button every time they print.
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Food Choose Organic Ingredients
    Can organic farming feed the world? Which side of the argument do you fall on? Why?

    I think that right now there are not enough organic farms to feed the world, but if we slowly start transitioning we could get there and organic farming would feel normal. 
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Health Exercise Daily
    How can you incorporate other personal values (like quality time with friends or spending time in nature) into your exercise routine?

    Walking/hiking through the park or forest is time in nature and exercise. If you invite some friends to come with you, then you have all three.

    So excited for October! This is my third year of ecochallenge and I think that it's a great way to get people to be more conscious of their footprint and their impact on this amazing planet.
