Stan State Sustainability

Go team Stan State! This has been a fun challenge with our team!

Finally finished my one-time actions. Learned a few new things, and what I can maybe work on improving.

I think I have a lot to learn still on the subject. I have a garden at home which I enjoy. I do not use any chemicals and enjoy the vegetables that I grow.

Waste audits are difficult because they make us realize how much we waste we are producing. I think I'm going to try to compost. Might be a good thing for my yard.

Surprisingly my water footprint was not bad. But we do try. We have gotten rid of our grass in the front and back yard and gone to drip system for our trees.

I emit the most carbon in my home. I will research ways to reduce my carbon footprint at home.

Home. I think I need to go through the house and try sealing windows and light fixtures. That's a good start.

Spending consistent time outside has helped my overall wellbeing. The cool spring breeze, clear skies, and sunny days have been rejuvenating!

I have starting looking for products sold in cartons instead of plastic jugs, and also looking for products that offer refills, or just refilling myself. Laundry soap is the worst. I'm currently looking for an eco friendly option.

I asked myself several times this month if a purchase was a need or a want, and sometimes I could talk myself into a want becoming a need. If I thought I would use the item, I purchased it, but I definitely see this as an ongoing learning process.
