Earth Day Resolutions
There's a lot of debate recently as to whether Earth Day is meaningful or not. But, recently I realized that none of that debate really matters. Instead, I should ask myself, "How can I make Earth Day meaningul for me?"
To that end, I've decided to make a few, fairly simple Earth Day resolutions in areas where my personal commitment has been a little lacking:
1) Carry my reusable mug with me at ALL times. There's no real excuse for my wasteful consumption of disposable cups. I have a reusable mug, I just need to use it more.
2) Cook a big meal at least once a week. I've been eating prepared foods too often, which means that I don't know where my food is coming from or how it was prepared, and I also have a lot of extra packaging in my trash. Not good.
3) Cut down to three sodas a week. It's exam season, and I'm stressed and sodas are comforting. But they're also terrible for me and the environment and I have to stop drinking so much of them.
Those are my Earth Day Resolutions. What about you? Are you making any today?
