The greatest amount of my
environmental footprint is my carbon emissions. I have decided on three methods
to decrease my impact on the environment. I will reduce the amount of waste
that I use, buy used clothing products that I might need, and reduce my carbon
emission I release into the atmosphere.
My first goal is to use a reusable
cup whenever I get a Starbucks drink or any other coffee drink for the quarter.
I spend way too much money on coffee drinks in general. I would save a lot of
cups from being used and my waste will be reduced.
Thrift shopping is something that I
stared getting interested in when I came to college. I like to be able to buy
multiple items of clothing for a relatively small price. Buying used clothing is a form of recycling. My second goal would be to only buy clothing/shoes/accessories
from a second hand store that I need. I don’t shop much and I believe that this
is a reasonable goal to be able to achieve.
For my third goal I thought I would
walk to and from school every day. It takes me 20 to 25 minutes to walk depending
on where I need to go on campus. The springtime is nice in Bellingham and
walking to school and back would be good exercise. If I walk instead of taking
the bus I will reduce my carbon emission which is my greatest environmental footprint.
