Eye Opener: Photo Essay

Ever since the first day of Environmental Health I knew I was going to take a lot away from this class!  I have slowly but surely started to change the way I treat our environment.  Below are just a few pictures showing the different ways I am trying to help out our environment!

 



I have learned a lot about reusable water bottles and how great they are for the environment through my Eco-Chic Lifestyle Change goal!  I have cut plastic water bottles out of my life and have been using this beautiful purple metal water bottle ever since

I also have learned about the importance of using a reusable bag through my SMART goal!  I now have made a pact with myself that I will always bring and use a reusable bag every time I go to the grocery store!  Below are just a few of my reusable bags.  I not only use them for grocery shopping but for other things as well!

From the advocacy project and discussions in class I have learned quite a bit about water rights and the importance of having clean safe water.  Just because I can access water whenever I want, doesn't mean that I should use it carelessly.

Using less electricity is also something I have started concentrating on more and more!




Why drive to school when you can run, walk, or bike?

Lastly, recycling!  I have become much more conscious of what I should be recycling and making sure that I am doing my part by recycling everything that should be recycled!
