    I sewed some holes in one of my knee braces and it worked well for a couple of days, until another hole formed. I turned on an episode of tv while I sewed, which was very nice.

    What concerns you the most about how we are affecting the planet? Consider both local and global actions.

    I'm really concerned about waste management, since landfills can affect groundwater and air quality in the area and beyond—they're also local eyesores and don't accurately address global waste issues (e.g. overconsumption, poor recycling and composting, etc).
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Energy
    Where in your life do you emit the most carbon? What change are you willing to make in your daily life to reduce this output?

    I emit the most carbon when driving and flying home for the holidays. I can reduce this by not flying home as much or by walking rather than driving.
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Food
    In North America, up to 65% of food waste happens at the consumer level. Chef Steven Satterfield advocates for using every part of a vegetable. How can you incorporate using an entire vegetable (including the skins, tops, stalks, etc.) during your next meal prep?

    During my next meal prep, I can buy carrots and use the stems for part of a soup, the main flesh for snacking, and bake the peels to make chips.
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Energy
    How is electricity generated where you live? How does it impact the environment, animals, and humans?

    I'm not sure what exactly creates the electricity used on campus, but I know there are solar panels used for at least part of it. Mining the materials for solar panels creates a lot of pollution and is associated with human rights issues, but once they're implemented they generally have fewer negative impacts on humans, animals, and the immediate environment, than fossil fuels (primarily no air pollution).
