I joined because I want to reduce my carbon footprint and be more environmentally aware than I was in the past. I chose certain actions here such as walking to short-distanced destinations to reduce the C02 emissions and because that is what I need to improve on the most. I also participated in Plastic Free July and I had a lot of fun! I hope to get started soon for this month!

REFLECTION QUESTION
Waste Use a Reusable Water Bottle

While water bottles serve an important role in places for health and safety, we can do more to reduce the unnecessary use of them. Can you identify the barriers in making this a new habit? How can you set yourself up for success in making this a permanent change?

Brian Moore 9/29/2018 4:02 PM

Plastic bottles are easy because they are a one use item; however, it can be used and thrown away so much to the point where there in an infinite number of them and we do not know what to do with them. The only way to make a change is to force yourself and pace yourself as well. Buy a reusable water bottle and a pitcher with a filter. Just put tap water into the filter that comes with the pitcher, place in the refridgerator or add ice to make cold, and voila! More than 10 plastic bottles were saved. Also when in public, look for the water bottle refiller so you do not have to bring plastic water bottles with you everywhere! It's free, safe, and environmentally friendly!

How could you incorporate other "R's" -- reduce, reuse, refuse, repair, repurpose, etc. -- into your lifestyle?

Refusing to buy products that are not environmentally friendly and reusing some items daily.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Transportation Use Public Transit

The US spends roughly 20% of its federal budget on defense. In contrast, 2% goes to education, 20% goes to social security and 3% goes to transportation infrastructure. Do these numbers surprise you at all? Why or why not?

Brian Moore 9/29/2018 3:58 PM

No because I learned about this in my economics class and I know that the U.S. has different priorities such as government and the military.

How is electricity generated where you live? How does it impact the environment, animals, and humans?

Brian Moore 9/29/2018 3:56 PM

Our area has electrity from a power station somewhere. It impacts the environment because it takes up space and needs a lot of energy to satisfy the city, country, or state population
