    Wow...
    Didn't realize how my diet dominated my water use.
    Will be trying to eat far less animal products, can't be that hard.
  • REFLECTION QUESTION

    What did you watch, and what was the most important thing you learned in the documentaries you watched? How does what you learned connect to your understanding of climate change and Earth Month?

    That was definitely a hard watch. It was something I would rather never have needed to see, but in this world it was necessary.
    The agriculture industry has so many untold stories that need to be heard. The meat culture today is just insane.
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Education & Livelihood
    How did you thank the educators in your life? If you are an educator, what was the most creative or fun way you have been thanked?

    Lukas Lehner 4/01/2023 6:44 PM
    It feels when others appreciate the work you are doing without being forced to do so.
    I found a lot of pleasure in thanking someone today for the great work they do and hopefully am encouraging them to continue on their path.
    I found this such a nice task that I would like to bring it out of this ecochallenge and into my life in general, thanking others for whatever work they are doing to help me grow as a person.

    How have you reduced your purchasing habits and what would you like to do next to reduce your consumption habits?

    I've noticed how much I've been spending on food outside of my groceries. This happens especially when I wake up late and don't have the time to make food (or am just too lazy)...
    I'm learning to be more proactive in prepping meals for the coming day and thinking about what and where I will be eating. This will hopefully reduce costs for me and be a lot more sustainable.

      Meal planning brings much more ease into your day! I do it for all my meals and snacks. Dinners are no longer a headache when we plan them for the upcoming week.
