    I recently read a blog and learned about several sustainable fashion brands and companies like Frank & Oak, Boyish, Pangaia and many others. They all try to make durable and ensured products that give style and functionality to customers without hurting and compromising the planet.

    One of my mission was to learn about the drawdown electricity solutions. What it's mainly about is Project Drawdown makes the best out of all the existing climate solutions. each solution reduces greenhouse gases by avoiding emissions and by separating the carbon dioxide already in the atmosphere.

    The only good thing about staying home during school is wasting a lot less energy and gas on car and creating a world for everyone. The only time I would use a car is when I need to go to work and most of the time,  I would drive with my friend. So we both were saving gas and energy.

    Ive been closely observing the way I have been accordingly thrown out garbage, plastic etc. Ive always told my family to pay close attention to that and properly throw away plastic and garbage where they are suppose to go. In this past week, I realized that I started to get back into the rhythm of doing just that. I am very proud of myself of looking out for the environment and doing what is best.

    My family wastes a lot of water on a daily basis, so I would like to reduce the waste of water in my household. I will shut the water when brushing my teeth and washing the dishes as well as taking shorter showers. All this to reduce the amount of water waste my family consumes and to become more aware of the effect it has on the environmental.
