REFLECTION QUESTIONIndustry Go PaperlessWhat do you want to prioritize over material 'stuff' in your own life?
Alison Burrows 4/30/2021 1:16 PMI live in a tiny house and I've realized how much of a burden it is to just have a bunch of material stuff you don't really need. I've prioritized buying high quality items that will last years and also have multiple uses. Otherwise, I'm much more satisfied doing things rather than collecting things. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONIndustry Research the Climate Impact of RefrigerantsWhat did you learn about the climate impact of refrigerants? How do supermarkets contribute to this impact?
Alison Burrows 4/30/2021 1:13 PMWe always hear about gas powered cars contributing to greenhouse gases, but I did not realize that refrigerants (especially in grocery stores) are significantly more of a problem! Why aren't we talking about this?? -

Alison Burrows 4/30/2021 1:09 PMIf I find a campsite (for example) well maintained, I feel connected to the community that uses these shared spaces because people are considerate of others experience. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONBuildings Plan to InsulateWhat are some of the benefits of making your home more energy efficient?
Alison Burrows 4/30/2021 12:49 PMThe money I'll save on my electric bill will offset my investment and I'll save money in the long term! -
REFLECTION QUESTIONIndustry Launch a Recycling ProgramHow can you take your commitment to sustainable living beyond yourself? How can you, personally, work toward broader change?
Anna Shannon 4/30/2021 10:57 AMWe keep a lot of snacks and drinks around the office and I noticed a lot of bottles and cans were landing in the trash and there was no real plan for the recycling cans around the office. I had some spare time so I started fishing out the recyclables and now we have a thriving CRV program at the office that I take in every couple months or so. We've cashed in about $20 in recyclables so far and the money will go towards office treats! -
REFLECTION QUESTIONIndustry Properly Dispose of RefrigerantsHow do you address your own feelings of concern, fear or despair about climate change?
Andrea Durland 4/30/2021 10:03 AMI start small with things I can control. It is so easy to fall into a thought-trap of "It's too big a problem for me to solve, so I won't try". Starting by fixing a leaky tap, eating less meat, and reducing shower times can help me feel more in control which help to mitigate the concren, fear, and despair brought on by climate change.
