Knowing the difference between these dates allows me to reduce my food waste. Knowing that these dates do not mean that the food has spoiled or will make me sick makes me more confident to consume food once the date has been past. I will use my discretion and knowledge provided by google when evaluating if I should eat food when it's marked as "expired".

Up until going to Abbott I really didn't use any sort of public transit daily. So throughout the initial part of my life I figured hardly anyone used it and that it isn't as good as everyone makes it out to me. I was wrong. many people including myself use it everyday to cummute to work or to school, and now I actually think more people should be using it. Too many people enjoy the convenience of their gas powered cars and it's certainly not helping us in the battle for climate change. Since being able to drive I still try to avoid using a car to get around places, if it's reasonably close I'll take the bus or bike depending on the weather.

Places that I frequented often during the month of April was school, hockey arenas, and the gym. I was able to integrate a carpooling system in each of these places in order to cut down on emissions.

For starters, whenever I had a hockey game at a given arena, me and my teammates would take tuns driving each other to the game which greatly helped reduce our emissions.

Next, I started carpooling with my friend whenever we would be going at the same time. This was the most challenging out of the locations I frequent as my friend would not always be working out at the same time, which in turn made it harder to carpool with him.

Lastly, for school, I looked at me and my friends schedules for classes to see which friends started at ended at the same time as me during the day. I alternated with different friends and drove in with them depending on the friend that matched my schedule.

Improving walking infrastructure in Montreal can significantly enhance both enjoyment and equity. Enhanced sidewalks, pedestrian-friendly streets and better signage can make walking safer and more pleasant for everyone, regardless of age and ability. This promotes equity by providing equal access to transportation regardless of socioeconomic status or mobility constraints. Additionally, well-designed walking paths can encourage more people to choose walking over driving, reducing traffic congestion and air pollution, which disproportionally affects marginalized communities. Furthermore, investing in pedestrian infrastructure can revitalize neighbourhoods, boosting local economies and fostering a sense of community pride. Ultimately, by prioritizing walking infrastructure, Montreal can create a more inclusive, healthier and vibrant city for all its residents.

Expressing personality, creativity and values without relying on fast fashion involves adopting sustainable practices such as up cycling old garments, mixing and matching existing pieces, and accessorizing thoughtfully with high-quality items. Prioritizing quality over quantity allows for investment in timeless pieces from sustainable brands, reducing the need for frequent purchases. Participating in clothing swaps, rentals and engaging in DIY projects not only fosters individuality but also minimizes environmental impact by extending the lifespan of clothing items. Exploring unique grooming choices and hairstyle variations can further express one's personal style. Sharing experiences and knowledge about sustainable fashion on social platforms or in personal circles promotes awareness and encourages others to embrace mindful consumption habits. By making conscious choices, individuals can authentically express themselves while contributing to a more ethical and environmentally friendly fashion industry.

Bought these beeswax wraps that I now use instead of saran wrap. They've actually been more efficient in conserving my food for longer because they seal much better.

Today, instead of taking the bus or using my car, I walked to the metro station. This shift in my routine was good for my physical activity and reduced me being reliant on my car. I've noticed how i got more fresh air and felt better at the same time for helping the environment.

After spending an hour researching and exploring the potential of wave and tidal energy for generating power, I've learned how these renewable energy sources operate. I was fascinated by the methods that are used to capture the power of ocean waves and tidal flows, along with the recent technological advancements that have been made. Also on the environmental implications and the obstacles that need to be addressed for wider implementation of these energies. Considering these points helped me think about how wave and tidal energy could be incorporated into current power networks and what steps are necessary to overcome these challenges. I learned that these technologies not only harness the natural movements of water but also promise a consistent and predictable source of clean energy. Finally, i learned about the challenges, such as the high costs and technical difficulties associated with setting up and maintaining the infrastructure needed to capture and convert this energy.
