Charles Schuck 4/11/2018 2:53 PMI went to the true cost documentary last night on the grass lawn and will be posting on it for one of my outside of class activities. The case we had this week was also quite inspirational to my consideration of job to look into. -
Charles Schuck 4/04/2018 2:48 PMThis weekend I am going to Lake Mohave, which is one of my favorite places I have ever been to in this world. We camp under the stars and swim in the lake all day. I feel one with nature out there with no cell phones or distractions from life.-

Charles Schuck 3/27/2018 8:32 PMI took a field trip to ViaSat today, I previously looked into the company to see if they were an environmentally aware company and from their website it seemed as if they were. After my visit and seeing all the new buildings they were constructing, I hope that they do their best to meet the LEED standards. There was not much sustainable talk during my tour.-

Charles Schuck 2/28/2018 9:15 AMSometimes the elements can make it hard to be sustainable. I rode my bike to class yesterday evening and when I came outside it was raining. With the combination of darkness and wetness I made the safe choice to have my roommate pick me up. -

Charles Schuck 2/13/2018 2:23 PMI think my favorite action that I have committed to is eating at least one meal a day outside, as it is so much more inviting to be out in the sun or in a place with a fresh breeze. Sometimes I can even combine eating a meal outside with the action of enjoying a sunset. Maybe one of these day I will start my day extra early to catch a sunrise with a coffee, in my sustainable mug of course!
