REFLECTION QUESTION
Education & Livelihood Share Your Eco Habits

How do you create new sustainability-related habits or change bad habits?

Ryan Logrieco 4/28/2023 12:41 PM

The first step in changing bad habits is understanding what bad habits you are doing! So programs like this Earth Month EcoChallenge and being a part of the Green Team promotes idea sharing and helps me understand what bad habits I am doing! First step is accepting you can improve and then you can make changes appropriately

  I have been wanting to watch game changers. I don't know if I could ever go vegan, but it's something I've always wanted to try. Very cool!

REFLECTION QUESTION
Basic Needs & Security Calculate Your Water Footprint

What is one way you will reduce your water use? What is a practice you already have that helps you reduce your water use?

Ryan Logrieco 4/06/2023 5:40 AM

3 minute showers has been one way I've always tried to minimize my water waste. My sophomore HS teacher mentioned it as something she did and it made an impact me so I've continued to do it. It really isn't that difficult and you have more time for other things when you shower quickly.

Ryan Logrieco 4/06/2023 5:38 AM

Just made a Mediterranean salad and it was delicious! I've always been a person whose thought meat was the only way to get protein but I've been learning about all the other protein-rich foods that can provide the nutrition you'd usually get from meat.

Ryan Logrieco 4/06/2023 5:36 AM

I recently did a spring cleaning where I took a lot of the clothing I hadn't worn for 6+ months and donated them to a Goodwill. Instead of throwing these items out, I hope someone else will get use out of them and thereby minimize overall waste.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Health & Equity Spend Time Outside

What are the implications for a culture that spends most of its time inside and on screens?

Ryan Logrieco 4/06/2023 5:35 AM

I think the biggest negative of the indoor screen time is the lack of social interactions which will negatively effect happiness levels in the future.
