Advocate For More Packaging Options

Plastic packaging can clog our water ways and the stomachs of sea creatures. I will advocate for alternatives to single-use packaging at local grocery stores, markets, at work, or on campus.

    I believe we are bringing an end to processes and systems that took millions of years to develop and evolve into what they are today. Animal extinction is removing generations of selection. Water pollution is ruining ecosystems. Greenhouse gases are creating weather patters we have never seen, and bring climate change with it, which is putting stress on the environment like never before.

    Forests are pretty! Isn't that enough? They're serene places to find peace, they help reduce water erosion of soil, fix nitrogen, cycle CO2 and oxygen, and so much more. They're home to thousands of species around the planet!
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Action Track: Building Resilience Support A Sharing Economy
    What are the benefits of a sharing economy? How could a sharing economy change the dynamics you have with friends, family and/or neighbors?

    A sharing economy would essentially help us have a lower average burden on the planet, and would also prevent wasted resources that others could use. Uber, Lyft, Airbnb etc have already proven that.

    How do your transportation choices affect your engagement in your community? Does your experience or enjoyment differ while walking, riding transit, biking or driving?

    I've started biking again, now that the weather is better, and it's been a great way to exercise, clear my mind, stay safe, and reduce emissions. I have managed to avoid Ubers and public transport, am able to go to the places I need, and have been able to get in my recreation without adding to my carbon footprint.
