I had to do pretty much the exact same assignment for zoology last year. I was disgusted by my ecological footprint and actually started making some small changes in my life, like carrying around a travel coffee cup instead of using disposable cups, walking whenever and wherever possible, turning off unnecessary lights and trying not to eat so much packaged food. Also although I'm not a veg anymore, I don't eat red meat. Still as much as every little bit counts, sometimes I feel like it really doesn't make much difference...
Last year at Dal for a week there was a collection of Tim Horton's cups (Timmy was the coffee supplier on campus) and then they made a giant scuplture out of all the cups the recieved. It was pretty crazy how many there were!!!!!!!!
So it does make a difference, a small one but giving up means giving in to the corperate agenda!
ummm i use the oc transpo instead of driving everywhere, which isnt really my personal choice. i use a travel coffee mug MUCH more then disposible aswell, but that is again not my personal choice. as poor students, we are all forced to live a less 'luxurious' life, due to our financial situation. Therefore i gave up my daily 'timmies double double' in order to conserve more money for books; so really, i am conserving the environment without realizing... now that i add it all up in my head, i dont feel as poor i feel like a 'preserver'.... yes that makes me feel better sorry about the run-on sentences and grammatical errors... i just wrote what i was thinking....
