NVeco

Old refrigerant gasses are harmful because they damage the ozone layer. When the ozone layer is damaged, more UV radiation enters the earth, and this affects the climate patterns. Climate change is bad for the environment, as it affects weather patterns which is bad for many ecosystems.

I think that reflecting has really helped me to disconnect from the stresses of everyday life, and I would want to reflect more on how my actions and words affect others.

I think Climate Change can affect my region's water supply because there are so many people that use too much water, especially in very populated cities. The water is pumped underground quicker because of the high demand for hot water, this can decrease water quality. Warmer temperatures cause a higher chance of droughts.

Practicing gratitude makes me realize that the things that I have, have so much more value than I realize sometimes. I realize that I am very lucky to have certain things in my life.

When I exercise, I go to soccer each night and see some of my closest friends, almost 5 days a week.

Eco challenge so far has made me more conscious of my everyday life choices. It has been so much fun and eye-opening to see the impacts that one person makes on the planet everyday.

We have NVeco today after school, so I am looking forward to getting more participants and to hear how others are doing in the October EcoChallenge.

My dryer has broken three times over the last two decades, and I was ready to get a new one. But my friend told me it might be reparable. So for a $20 part and a few hours of labor, my friend was able to get it working again. Another friend told me that dryers are not made like they used to be, so I should continue to repair older appliances,...

I have done more around my house (inside and outside) the last couple of days than I normally do after a day at school. I feel so much more productive and refreshed.

I already participate in paperless statements. But I also reached out to companies that are sending unsolicited mail and asked them to remove me from their mailing lists. Consider reducing junk mail by doing the same.
