Although my change in lifestyle has made a very tiny difference to lessen the impact on the environment, I believe that many people could easily take part in reducing; the amount of time they watch TV, eliminating plastic water bottles/plastic wrap/plastic bags from their daily lives and no longer using the clothes dryer. Nobody I know, other than my fellow classmates changed their lifestyle to be more environmentally friendly. I feel like my action were not impractical, but my attempt to eliminate hot water from my lifestyle was inefficient because I was unable to stick to my plan, I had to make moderate changes; giving up hot water has proved to be impossible.
My dedication to change has made very little difference to those who know about my project. I found that many students in high school take the planet for granted and don’t realize the consequences of our society’s abuse. Many, even my family thought it was humorous rather than inspiring. I feel as though not very many people care about our environment, I am trying to inform as many people as I can, but what voice does a 17 year old have? I believe I should be trying to make a more effective environmental statement. I wish i could have also have managed to reduce my impact concerning food/agriculture, but I felt like I was already taking on a lot. I often had problems staying dedicated to my plan. I have survived !
To anyone who reads this, don’t be afraid of trying to help out the environment. I am probably not the best influence or role model,
but I am not giving up ! and neither should you !
but I am not giving up ! and neither should you !
Go Green.
