do more for the environment

so far i’ve just become a veg head

• Burns calories and save energy: use the stairs more
• Eat more local produced food
• Try not to eat so much meat (beef)
• Be rational with A/C or heating
• Inform people how a small change in environment can have a huge impact on the world.

I’m trying to.

I have applied to be an intern at Greenpeace. If I get it, then I can help fight for the environment and really make a difference.

I love nature and the outdoors. I want to help stop destruction in any way i can.

Starts next year in college but

What I have done:
1. Written an article about stewardship for school paper
2. Been active in my school’s environmental club
3. I have become my homes light police constantly turning lights off
4. Collected 80 dollars in change over time and donated 50$ to the NRDC (the next time I get 50 I will look into adopting an acre of rainforest.)

What I want to do:
1. Urban farming (community or self) using Masanobu Fukuoka’s natural farming method
2. Composting Trash (Mom won’t let me cause she thinks it is disgusting)
3. Getting community to follow me with in these pursuits (like giving me the trash)
4. Studying forestry and doing that career
5. Eventually buy a piece of desolated decrepit land and restore it using Fukuoka’s method. (Maybe turn it into a forest over time)
6. Possibly teach to spread all of my ideals.
7. Hopefully write to also spread environmentalism.

If I think of more

I’ve definitely started doing a lot more than I have in the past, but that doesn’t mean I’m going to stop now. I’ve broken this goal up into several sub-goals:

• Start a garden
• Reduce my number of single-use items
• Be an urban chicken farmer

Ok, so the last one is more because I think chickens are really cute (don’t ask why—I have no idea), but I can still raise them free-range and organically and sell them locally.

As I said before last Friday was wonderful, my team and I started our LONA VERDE, it’s like “green circus” because Lona is like the old circus in Brazil, not these huge ones we see today, anyway, I’m very happy! And last but not least I went back to my volunteer work in PNT (Tijuca National Park, Tijuca Forest)!

So, I guess this goal can really be broken down into a few subgoals:

• Reduce single-use items (this could be bags, food containers, dishes, etc.)
• Sell my car and use public transportation… which I was planning on doing anyway since I’m moving across the country
• Start some type of garden (this will all depend on what my new apartment is like)

Finally I got back to my environment works in public cultural institutions in my city!
Next event is going to be on June 20!
