April 25 at 8:17 PMHow is your diet currently impacting deforestation? What can you do to decrease your negative impact and increase your positive impact? I already buy fair-trade, rainforest-certified coffee, but honestly I should probably just stop drinking coffee altogether. I also need to reevaluate which parts of my diet/lifestyle still contain palm oil -...

April 25 at 7:59 PMAs an ESL educator, I could help girls overcome health barriers to being able to attend school by helping my students and their families connect with community health resources, especially since my students will be English learners. I can advocate for educational health resources and information to be available in whatever language my students'...

April 25 at 7:53 PMWhat a great last day of the challenge! I went on a walk with my roommates today to pick up some of the trash in my neighborhood and enjoy the sunshine, and it was so invigorating and grounding. I also found $50 on the ground by a piece of garbage so I guess karma is real folks

April 25 at 7:42 PMI love the potential that renewable energy has for allowing all countries to improve their quality of life without dependence on industries or technologies that hurt people and the environment (e.g. fossil fuels). It seems like it could be a powerful tool for decolonization as well, as countries are able to produce their own power and take more...

April 25 at 7:41 PMWhat inspires you to act on sustainable energy and other energy issues? I want to foster a mindset of care and good stewardship of the resources I have access to! So, that includes energy and issues.

April 25 at 7:39 PMBeyond carbon sequestration, what other benefits do forests offer you personally? I think they offer so many things. There's opportunity to learn about the ecosystems around you as well as give you information as to how the land is doing. When trees are dying and diseased something is off. It's an indicator of something environmentally...

April 25 at 7:36 PMHow do your transportation choices affect your engagement in your community? Does your experience differ while walking, riding transit, biking or driving? Your experience does differ depending on your choice of transportation. Some options force you to interact with your community (riding transit, biking and walking sometimes) where others you...

April 25 at 7:30 PMHow does environmental quality influence your sense of community? The quality of the environment has an impact on your sense of community. When thinking about this question, I think it is vital to know the contexts that you are coming from. Myself, I am white and grew up in the suburbs. So, my sense of community is little at most, this also...

April 25 at 7:29 PMThe biggest way I could advocate for efficient, eco-friendly transportation systems would be to start using public transit more often. I often don't even consider public transportation as an option when I'm going somewhere because it seems too difficult to figure out or like it would take too long. However, without demand, those aspects of...

April 25 at 7:21 PMHad you ever heard of biomass technology before this? What did you learn that surprised you? Share this with your friends! I had not heard of biomass technology before this! One main thing that I really liked about reading on this is the goal: to reduce business' carbon footprint while generating heat and energy. I know there's more research...
