My reflection on the project

I enjoyed doing this project although it took a lot of time to research a lot of this information. I learned that the simple things like recycling and conserving energy is not enough to save our planet. I also learned that for things to get better for our Earth, everyone needs to pitch in and help out. Even the little things that we do counts. Like turning off the lights, water, etc. Using laptops instead of desktops to use less energy, print less paper and use the other side of a one sided piece of paper, and so much more. This project made me think more about what I can do to help out more and how many others I can get to get involved.The challenges I learned from doing this project is that there are not enough people participating in going green. Although there are people who are recycling, it isn't enough to help stop climate change. Putting a stop to climate change has to start TODAY. If we keep waiting to make a change, it may be too late. There are so many ways to promote sustainability that everyone can choose their own way of doing it. We can all start making a difference TODAY if we just put in a little effort. Here are some ways, I think, that are easy to do and takes NO time at all:
1.)RECYCLING- This is one of the easiest way to promote sustainability is by recycling products and use mainly recyclable products. Lessening the amount of what goes into our landfills can help greatly improve a community's sustainability. Use biodegradable products and recyclable materials to help in this effort.
2.)WATER CONSERVATION- Promote the use of water drums to store water from rain that can be accumulated from the downspouts connected to the roofs. The water collected can be used for watering plants during dry season. Turn off sprinklers during rainy days to save on water. This saves not only water but money due to lower monthly water bill to pay.
3.)USE OF GREEN PRODUCTS- Using green products in our daily lives can be a great way that a city can promote sustainability. Buy organic foods, use recycled products in businesses, for example using recycled paper, using fluorescent lights instead of incandescent, etc.

I really hope that the human race starts taking action on helping reduce climate change. Things would be so much easier if we lived in a healthy way. Keep recycling and do everything you can to help out. Be one less person to add to climate change.
