To help out the environment, I heard some very good solutions from the class and from reading the book “No Impact Man.” The idea of using reusable bags instead of paper and plastic bags for shopping is a solution I highly support. Reducing paper waste on campus by using reusable coffee cups and plates is also a cleaver idea. The option of buying locally is another smart solution to reduce carbon emissions. These are very creative concepts and are subjects I am considering writing my 3rd essay about.

I think you are thinking in the right direction, Shelby! These are good and important parts of the “impact” problem and they are manageable topics. You could probably focus nicely on just one of these solutions to the many environmental problems we have. As we know from NIM, even the smallest contribution can add up over time!
