Joyce Martinez 10/29/2016 8:49 AMYes, it was a bit hard to remember to do all of them since I choose a lot but it was worth it. I felt good when I did all these because I'm not contributing to global climate change. At least, I'm trying my best not to. One of my challenge was to reuse reusable water bottles and actually that was kind of fun to do. After I finished drinking juice or soda, i cleaned the bottle and reused it for water. It was easier than most of the others. Also, taking a walk for 30 minutes each actually helped me to stay healthier and I like that. I also tried to drive less. I only drove to school; I tried not to take unecessary trips to town. I also did the car pull to avoid releasing too much CO2 into the atmosphere. I also turned down my computer when I wasn't using it to also save CO2. I choose to do two-side printing to avoid using too much paper. In addition, I ate ingredients food this two weeks. Although I've been eating ingredients before I started this challenge; I don't prefer to eat meat if I have other choices. The last thing I did was to tell my friends/family about climate change because it is a serious problem. Most people know or don't know and they don't really pay attention to climate change but they should because it is affecting all of us living on the Earth.
Overall, doing this challenge was fun and it felt good to do something good to help change climate change. I like that I did something. I will continue to do these things because it is important. -
