    It was interesting to hear from my family members perspective and where in their life they encounter sustainable energy usage.

    We are using much more food and economic resources than we did in the 1970s. The image below is a breakdown of all the increases we have today in comparison to 50 yrs ago.

    I do this ecochallenge every semester with my students. They learn a lot, and I do too! Every semester I learn (or refresh) about something new. At the end of the semester I always get comments from students saying that they never realized how much of a difference they can make. That’s why I do it.

    I made at home sushi with some seaweed I got from Walmart and it turned out pretty good. I plan on making it again for sure

      I took the bus for years. I really liked how it made me stick to a schedule.

    What did you learn about the need for family planning? How do the needs of different people in different places compare to each other?

    Family planning is crucial for several reasons. Some people in certain parts of the world need more or less, depending on the birth rate and societal rules in that area. Some places lack access to proper family planning due to limited resources, while others may restrict it because of religious beliefs.

    After you determined your carbon footprint, did you see what different choices you can make in order to reduce it?

    Yes, there are a few crucial ways that I can reduce my carbon footprint. First, I could reduce my carbon emissions by choosing to walk or bike places instead of drive. Also, I could pay more attention to my food intake, focusing on more fresh and local foods rather than processed and packaged foods. Lastly, being mindful of how much trash and recycling I generate will help me reduce my carbon footprint.

    Found this chart to help remember.
    Sell By | Tells the store how long to display the product for sale. | For retailers
    Best By | Indicates when the product will be at its best quality or flavor. | For consumers
    Use By | The last date recommended for use while at peak quality. Sometimes a safety date (especially for baby formula). | For consumers
