REFLECTION QUESTIONTransportA round-trip flight from New York City to Los Angeles emits just over 1 ton of CO2. Imagine a giant balloon with a diameter of 10 yards. If this balloon were filled with CO2, it would weigh about 1 ton. This flight would fill just about one of these balloons. What can you do to reduce the number of flights you take per year?
Tammy Stellanova 4/09/2018 5:08 PMThis is a tough one, as travel is one of my favorite activities, especially international travel. I can try to do more local trips rather than as many trips that involve a long car trip/flight. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONMaterialsWhat single-use items (e.g. straws, coffee cups, vegetable bags, plastic bags) do you regularly use? What could be substituted instead?
Tammy Stellanova 4/09/2018 9:43 AMMy main problem with single-use plastic items are some pre-packaged foods that I buy. I try to eliminate plastic everywhere I can but can't find any tortilla chips that are not packaged in plastic!
