REFLECTION QUESTION
Oceans Advocate For More Packaging Options

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

Shivansh Chaturvedi 4/15/2020 12:10 PM

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.

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.
