I feel like I have a lot of everyday purchases especially food so if we all cut down on our everyday purchases like food or stuff that we don't need but want like toys or video games (physical copies) then our carbon emissions would go way down as well we would have more food to help out other countries that may be struggling with hunger and we would also have more toys to donate to struggling families.

I agree with the statement about buying food creating more carbon emissions, I tend to get takeout or drinks, which can be very wasteful. I think a way to fix this here at Bishop O'Dowd is to use sustainable packaging. The muffins and other pastries are wrapped in Saran Wrap, we could use paper bags instead. The pre-made lunches come in plastic containers, an easy fix to this is finding compostable to-go plates to use instead. This may cost more and take more effort, but I think if we could make it work here, then other schools would catch on and together make a difference. At O'Dowd, some differences have already been made, like paper forks and cups; we just need to take more steps towards a more sustainable school.
