Seeing how much I typically drive, along with the rising fuel prices in America, has definitely encouraged me to find a city to move to after college where I can walk more and have more public transportation available to me. Even though diesel burns cleaner than gas, it is still an unnecessary addition to our climate if I can avoid it.

Climate & Ecosystems

What is one way you will reduce your carbon footprint? What is a practice you already have that helps you reduce your carbon footprint?
Lindsay Griffin 4/15/2023 8:40 AM
Eating less meat is one way I plan to reduce my carbon footprint, and I already do a lot of donating and thrifting of clothes, and repairing my clothes when they get damaged so it doesn't go to waste.

REFLECTION QUESTION

How do you create new sustainability-related habits or change bad habits?
Lindsay Griffin 4/15/2023 8:39 AM
I look for habits that are easy to switch in to and are very similar to my current everyday routine. The fact that it is more similar to what I do makes it harder for me to fall into old habits and ensures that I am more likely to fall through on maintaining the habit.

How does practicing a work-life balance create a more sustainable life for you? How might it contribute to sustainability more broadly?
Lindsay Griffin 4/15/2023 8:38 AM
Maintaining a work-life balance ensures that I am more balanced and productive and not as tired. When I am burnt out I am more likely to fall into easy habits that do not promote sustainability.

With 5-minute or less showers reducing your water footprint, what do you plan to add next to your water conservation habits?
Lindsay Griffin 4/15/2023 8:36 AM
I plan to make sure that when I do laundry, my loads are always full loads and not half loads or small loads so I do not waste any water on clothes washing.
