    A sustainable community has to be in all aspects of the term "sustainable." Not only environmental but also socially, since they go hand in hand.

    How could you incorporate other "R's" -- reduce, reuse, refuse, repair, repurpose, etc. -- into your lifestyle?

    At our school, we have separate bins for trash and recycling, and there have been efforts to keep this going, but a lot of people don't really separate the things they throw away most of the time. I could help with this effort, especially as far as bottles and cans.

    The issue of climate change is not just a fact of protecting our earth, but it is also a social issue. The people affected most by climate change are not the ones causing it, and do not have many opportunities to help fight it. Since sustainable energy is such an important part of stopping  climate change, people should advocate it's use more often.
