    This month has been so so tough for me it was genuinely hard to even do little things for this project. I am glad I got into a routine for walking though.

    When I eat mindfully, I actually notice the flavors and textures more, and I tend to feel satisfied with less food. Without distractions, I’m more aware of when I’m full, and I enjoy my meals more than when I’m just snacking while watching something or scrolling.

    On October 21, my biology class took a field trip out to the old fort ord to do a nature walk as a class. My lab group walked around and identified the different phylum we saw. We walked for close to two hours and saw animalia, fungi, mosses, and plantae. That evening I made myself some trader joes pasta that did not include meat, which took...

    Silvopasture is the practice of including trees and other large plants into the grazing locations of livestock. The benefits of adding trees are: giving the animals shade from the heat, allows for more tree cover for small plants to grow (and then be eaten) by livestock, and sequestering more carbon out of the atmosphere by planting trees onto...

    On October 16th, my roommate and I walked up to the main quad to get burgers. I got a veggie burger which took care of the meatless meal of the day. We noticed that in the main quad, there was a school event going on that had activities for students to paint wooden objects which my roommate and I took part in. It was very nice to have something...

    I found that there were not any volunteer opportunities for biomass collection in California, but there is a volunteer posting by the national park service which is in New Mexico. The post is brief, and may not line up exactly with what this perennial biomass production activity describes, it involves collecting and categorizing plant material...

    I learned that bamboo is a fast-growing plant that is reported to have uses as a food source, as a building material, and is durable enough to be used as a sustainable alternative to plastic products. Bamboo is an interesting plant because it can be harvested without uprooting the whole plant and as such, does not need to be replanted in a...

    Sustainability is the natural order of life. We live in the web of it, some people are not aware of this. Sustainability when balance provides for everyone in all due time. Reciprocity and sustainability go hand in hand, by providing for healthy ecosystems and human well-being.

    I think mainly the future of my family and of all future generations on our planet is a huge inspiration. Sustainable energy and other energy issues are important to our wellbeing and future as a society and currently, they are a big factor in GCC which is why it's important to hold government officials accountable as they hold power in...

    Overall this challenge has been very insightful, I have created new habits that I can keep up for myself as well as adopted other habits that will cut down on my personal emissions. While some decisions are conscious at first, once you pick up a routine, it becomes easier and easier and makes you wonder what your lifestyle was before, how easy...
