A moment of reflection in a busy workday has been valuable for me. As an environmental science student, I would spend my time outside identifying trees, researching the biodiversity of urban forests, and work at my college's sustainability office. Since then, I have set goals of being a continuous learner and an advocate for my local community.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Action Track: Community Borrow Before I Buy

How did you participate in the sharing economy? (Consider posting a photo!) What are the benefits of a sharing economy? How could a sharing economy change the dynamics you have with friends, family and/or neighbors?

Piyush Dehru 4/04/2024 8:34 AM

With the luck of having great friends in the neighborhood, comes the sense of sharing and caring. My friend and I like to share books, dishes we prepare, home grown vegetables, and also try to make home squeezed juice rather than buy a packaged juice bottle. Yesterday I borrowed my friend hand blender for my soup dish.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Freshwater + Oceans Understand My Water Footprint

What did you learn about your water footprint and what are you going to do to reduce and be aware of the water you use?

Dallin Wrathall 4/04/2024 8:30 AM

I use around 1500 Gallons per day. That is insane. I will try to limit the household water usage by taking shorter showers and being more efficient with my dishwasher

REFLECTION QUESTION
Action Track: Community Keep My Community Clean

How does the act of picking up litter connect you more to your community?

Piyush Dehru 4/04/2024 8:30 AM

While I go out for my daily walks in the evening around my neighborhood, I tend to pick up litter if and when I see it. It brings me joy thinking that the place looks cleaner, that I did a social deed and clean place might bring a smile to my neighbors as well. Hope to influence others around as well.

I am so proud that I get to share this. I love to cook and being 90% vegetarian in what I eat, I tend to try new recipes or bring my spin to some dishes that I know or that I see online. I do not buy meat more than 4 times a year, which is usually packaged in meat. Shopping at Aldi and Lidl save plastic bags as I use my resusable bags. Last night while preparing dinner, I made a pure veg Indian dish and all the veg scarped were saved in a ziplock bag in my freezer as I am planning to make home made vegetable broth out of it. My trash sometimes, take me over a week to fill which makes me happy that I am not trashing the planet as much as some others might be :)
