I am very willing to change a lot of things in my life in order to help the planet. For example, I will make an effort to walk more places, turn off lights when I am not using them, and taking shorter showers. I always new that climate change was happening, I just didn’t know it was happening in such extreme ways and affecting our planet so drastically already. I will definitely be making some major changes in my life to lower my carbon footprint.
    I think I will focus most on my home-related habits such as, not using heating/cooling unless necessary. Also, I will start doing the simple things. I will start recycling as much as I can, turning off lights when not in use, taking shorter showers, and be aware of how and where to dispose of batteries and other toxic materials safely.
    Next, I will start buying more locally grown food. I have talked with my family, and I have convinced them to go to the farmers market to buy the majority of our food now. I am also considering growing a small garden, but because I live in an apartment, it would be tricky to maintain.
    I am d efinitely going to try to start making an effort to be more mindful of our environment. I think with a bit more research, I can make my family much more green.

Yeah totally! The cool thing is, so many of these things are easy and doable! People just don’t know that it makes a difference. So the more we tell people and make education about these topics, it will make a difference!
