After taking the quiz on how many planets I was surprised. I used to think that I did well ecologically speaking but I guess not. According to the site I would need 3.7 earths to cover all of the resources I need. 54% of my needs were service things. I think that right now mine is very high because I'm in school and I eat a lot of packaged foods during the school day. I used to not see anything wrong with that becuase everything I eat was fairly healthy, but not for the earth I guess. I think that I need to find a way to stop this behavior. Maybe preparing more of my own food and taking it in reusable Tupperware containers. Also, I drive EVERYWHERE. I'm trying very hard to not drive so much and looking into taking the bus more places. I think these would all help me reduce my eco-footprint.
Brier what a good idea to use more Tupperware containers, I sadly do pack my own lunch but I use plastic bags, I dont even think about putting it in containers because ever since I was a little kid that's how I packed my lunches. I normally do make a lot of my meals but I could be better about that. I also drive too much apparently. It really made me aware of how I can better help the environment.
ReplyDeleteI like your idea of preparing your own food and using tupperware. This quiz really makes you think.
ReplyDeleteDuring school, I do tend to buy my lunch when I have to. That becomes a bad habit because the food is as unhealthy as processed foods. It is hard to try to bring your own lunch to school but I'm trying to do that now too. Next thing is, how to store your Tupperware when traveling. Probably reuse those annoying old plastic bags from the grocery stores then toss them out at the UMD recyclable box at the school store.
