    My favorite tip is bring your own bags to the grocery store! It's a simple solve that anyone can do.

    I chose to write letters for middle-school teachers who are self-isolating through "Points of Light: Write Letters to Our Teachers," an AmeriCorp project. Doing this work will hopefully help ease some of my feelings of helplessness during this time.

    It gives the power back to the people to make their own choices about their health.
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Climate Choose Renewable Energy or Purchase Renewable Energy Credits
    Your utility company is able to tell you your average energy usage. Ask them how your energy usage compares to others in your ZIP code, region, and/or state. What other steps can you take each day to reduce your electricity usage?

    I purchased monthly carbon offset credits!
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Wildlife Leave No Trace
    Educator Stephanie Kaza advises her students to focus on what they care about most when addressing the enormity of ecological problems. Is there a specific area you feel particularly called to work on?

    I am particularly passionate about reducing waste and disposing of it properly. 
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    People 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?

    EMMA HEASLET 4/01/2020 4:55 PM
    A sharing economy prevents us from purchasing items that we only have a temporary use for. It reduces waste, saves space, and helps us to connect to one another. Through my local Buy Nothing group, I have made connections with people in my community who I would not have met otherwise.

    It empowers me to use my gut when making decisions on whether or not to throw something out. If it smells and looks good, then it's probably fine!

    How difficult or easy was it to change your diet?

    It was not difficult because luckily, most of the products I use that had palm oil were RSPO-certified. As for cocoa products, I will look out for certifications on the packaging before I buy next time.
