REFLECTION QUESTIONBasic Needs & SecurityWhat is one way you will reduce your water use? What is a practice you already have that helps you reduce your water use?
Kimberly Myhre 4/07/2023 9:24 AMBesides going fully vegetarian, there isn't much more I can do until I have my own house (grey water, water barrel, xeriscape, solar). I also buy as much meat and produce from local ranches as possible, but this is limited to the summer. I would love to upgrade my washing machine soon, though. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONClimate & EcosystemsDo you think YellowTin will be useful?
Kimberly Myhre 4/03/2023 10:01 AMUnfortunately, it looks like YellowTin primarily focuses on homeowners who can change their homes. I cannot change my thermostat, appliances, etc. I can change my lightbulbs. -

Kimberly Myhre 4/03/2023 9:42 AMThrough the carbon footprint calculator, I learned about Palm Oil which is not a topic I have been aware of; I will research that topic further. I cannot do much about the electricity/heating sources of my rental, but I can be more conscious of energy consumption. I will also walk to work more frequently now that we are coming out of winter.
