Recycling has always been a very important part of my life just because I feel like I learned about it at a young age and it became a very important and almost everyday task. The R's are very important to how we plan to reduce and reuse things we as humans consume.

When choosing this action I was interested in the topic because I had never heard of a peatland but now I feel very understanding of their importance to our climate and our future. I watched 3 different documentaries based in different locations about them educating the importance of these lands. It was interesting to find out that peatlands are wetlands but have a thick soil layer of dead plant matter that hold an immense amount of carbon storage. The importance of the peatlands is absolutely vital for carbon storage, wildlife and all life on earth but yet they are stilled seen as unutilized land that can be dug up for a oil drilling due to the richness under the soil. Attached are the links to the 3 shorter documentaries :)

I anticipate it being easier to control the temperature, less electricity and gas waste, and more mindfulness surrounding the energy I use. I got a nest because I read good reviews and it tells you what is a more energy conscious temp rather than just what I want it to be.

for my region the whitefish is the recommended fish. i think my diet doesnt fit this descriptions but it helps guide me in the right path to get a better diet

I researched about the Indigenous Climate Action organization. It is an organization that focuses on uplifting Indigenous people's voices, practices, and concerns about the environment. What I noticed about this organization is that they have a strong team and stick together, which is what I can apply to my own life when becoming more active in fighting for climate justice.

I noticed how much food I have wasted, as well as food that my family and I waste together. It is unfortunate that we let leftovers go to trash instead of either making it into another meal (before it went bad) or composting it. I would rather use the money for wasted food on tuition, bills, etc. instead of it going to the trash.

After incorporating more fruits and vegetables in my meal, I'm starting to fill my plate up with more vegetables than carbs or protein. They fill me up just as much as fries or mashed potatoes would. Eating more fruits/vegetables is now becoming a habit.

I spend most of my time walking around school. Either walking from class to class, class to library, or library to the parking lot. Today, I walked around my neighborhood and appreciated our trees, sidewalks, and paved road.
