Share'n'Voice: Going Green Supernews

Hey everyone, I found this video on youtube called Going Green. It's more of an entertaining video than educational, but I think it has an important message.



We are learning a lot in this class about being environmentally friendly, but I think it's important to remember to act on what we learn. I think some people feel that because they recycle they are "green." While recycling is good, it's just one of many things that we can do to help the environment. The point is,remember everything we learn and actually do something about it. Make some lifestyle changes. I just thought this was a funny video with a good message. Enjoy!

Eco-Chic Lifestyle Change Week 1: My SMART Goal

For the next 5 weeks I will be changing a behavior. I will make a SMART goal for my behavior change.

My SMART Goal
:
I will take 7 minute showers everyday for the next 5 weeks.


Why it's Eco-Chic:
This goal is Eco-Chic because I will be conserving water. By conserving water I will decrease energy use, save gallons of water and reduce water pollution.

Why I chose this behavior
:
I chose this behavior because I take a long time in the shower...usually 20 minutes! This is important for me to change because I use a lot of water and I need to be less wasteful. I do not need to spend the amount of time in the shower as I usually do.
