Corrine Lemon 4/25/2018 10:24 AMMy challenges definitely were hard at first. Now I have better habits as a result. I eat way more vegetables and less junk food. This is all in an attempt to eat less meat and avoid things with palm oils. I still could do better at avoiding meats or dairy though still. I also find myself still occasionally taking long showers once or twice a week. Though I have significantly cut down on my water usage otherwise.
I have found that I drive my roommates a little insane when I get on them for leaving lights on or not recycling. Though I think my influence is making them slightly more aware of their actions as well. I'm not sure they'll never get enthused by composting. I try to use what I learned in this class to explain to them why I'm trying to make changes. I haven't exactly found "common ground" with them all but I'm getting there. I still got a week in a half of living with them so maybe I'll figure it out.
I know I still got a lot to improve on but I know I took this class for a little sustainability "push". Hopefully I'll keep improving my lifestyle from the momentum I was given out of the class.
