Bruins For the Future

"Hi! My name is Brie and I'm a fourth year neuroscience student. I am here because I am eager to finally have the opportunity to learn more about existing environmental issues and how we, as students, can do our part, both big and small, to combat these global changes. I hope to come out of this class with a greater understanding of how I can spread awareness about environmental issues and combat them now, but also how I can continue doing so during my future career as a pediatrician. "

Transportation

Go for a Daily Walk

Walkable Cities

I will take a walk for 30 minutes each day and take note of the infrastructure that makes walking more or less enjoyable, accessible, and possible.

COMPLETED 1
DAILY ACTION

Industry

Recycle Everything I Can

Recycling; Recycled Metals; Recycled Plastics

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will research and recycle all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community, including electronics and metals.

    I love my daily walks. it's great getting fresh air and having time to unplug. I think in WW there could be some improvements to the sidewalks because they are very uneven and I've caught myself tripping multiple times from not paying attention to the ground and where I'm walking
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Industry
    How could you incorporate other "Rs" -- reduce, reuse, refuse, repair, repurpose, etc. -- into your lifestyle? How does considering implementing these "Rs" make you feel?

    I can do my best to recycle cans & bottles that I use. I have a bad habit of throwing cardboard into the trash instead of the recycling, so I'm trying to be more mindful of that.

    Even though our campus is so large & I'm constantly walking around from class to class, I never really take the initiative to go on additional walks where the sole purpose of my walk isn't to get to my next class. I found taking a walk around the neighborhood adjacent to my apartment to be very refreshing and it really helped me start my day off on the right track. I hope to continue taking more walks because I believe it's a good way to clear my mind and start or even end the day off on a good note.
