Chapman University

I really enjoyed participating in this challenge and learned a lot about different ways to reduce my foot print. Thanks!!!

I am trying to limit purchase of plastic water bottles and use a refillable bottle. Also, with paper, I try to use both sides when feasible.  Finally, if something can be repaired, I try that before throwing it away!

We have many sources of solar power

Turn off lights in a room.

I often struggle with the lack of portability of fruits and veggies, which I believe can influence the average consumer and encourage them to purchase more ready to eat food or to-go food  (including animal products).

I believe that we prioritize food with protein and fat mores than we need, and also appreciate the value of meat as a higher class food than most vegetarian substitutes. Shifting can be done by creating interesting alternatives for eating out and in that satisfy consumers.

For the first day, I achieved what I had set out to do!  I am looking forward to finding new ways to meet this eco challenge!  Join me!!!

I am excited about this challenge and urge everyone at Chapman University to join!  Take small steps and start with powering your computer down when you head home.  Also, use a refillable water bottle and a ceramic mug for your tea or coffee.  Way to go!
