CSUMB Green Team

Overall the challenge has gone very well and has definitely changed up how I normally do things in my life and my daily schedule for the better and has overall had a positive impact.

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 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.

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.
