    As an American consumer, I try to be as conscious as possible about what I am consuming, what businesses I am supporting, and how much waste I am producing. It is really important to be aware of the power that I hold as a consumer. I usually go to local coffee shops, such as the Hof, to get my breakfast instead of going to Starbucks. I try to buy products that produce the least waste possible.
