    In the future we could turn off the sink when we aren't using it, take shorter showers, try to decrese your time using sprinklers and use energy efficient water saving devices

    I did some research on the orangutang species and I learned that their name means "man of the forest" and that there are different types of orangutang species. One of my favorite things about orangutangs are that they have a very unique look.

    You can support biodiversity by supporting or protecting the animals around your neighborhood by providing shelter, food and water. Also you could help pick up litter around your neighborhood so that these animals don't eat it.

    It empowers me to make better descisions because when I buy something I look at the labels on it like these lables and if it's reasonable I usually buy the item

    It was actually really easy since I started it this morning because I usually drink coffee in the morning but I didn't today and I don't really use palm oil and cocoa in my foods, so that knocked those out of the way.

    Up to 70% of our oxygen is coming from the ocean also the ocean is the "#1 source of protien". One way we can help the oceans is to try lowering the amount of seafood we eat, clean up any trash that could possibly get into the ocean because if we don't try to make it better now then things will get worse in the future

    It connects me more to my community because today I picked up litter anywhere I saw it and it was in many different places and I felt like I was helping my community a lot because I was picking up litter in their yard.
