    I was shocked by how much carbon footprint my diets contributed. In order to improve that, I'm choosing locally grown and supplied food over than packaged goods that's being transported to where I live. Moreover, I will try to add one or two vegetarian meal every month.

    I watched Unit 1 video which drew relation between climate change and human activities. The ever high records of energy use, water and land use has forever changed our life but also changed the atmosphere of our planet. While our life is getting more convenient, we are also paying the price of damaging our planet. Yet, it may seem grim but the situation is indeed changeable and hopeful.

    By transitioning into a hybrid aqua food production system, we can reduce Greenhouse Gas emissions without reducing any amount of consumption, or even boost the supplies of fishery captures by 2050.

    As a sales kid who works in a skate shop within the capitalist society, my word really wouldn't mean that much to managements. However, I can try to analyze how finding clothing lines that are consisted of recycled materials and put them out in the faceout might attract more customer to come browsing.
