    Joelle Estrada outlines several sustainability actions she is taking in her daily life to reduce her environmental impact, including walking to school instead of taking transportation, reducing air conditioning and appliance use, eating less meat and more fruits and vegetables, taking quick showers, and avoiding unnecessary purchases. She identifies mobility through private vehicle use, highly processed food consumption, and reliance on non-renewable energy at home as areas where she can lower her ecological footprint. While committed to making changes, she rates her willingness to fully commit to adjustments in these areas a 7 out of 10, acknowledging it will take gradual steps.

    One of the sustainability actions I am doing is walking to school from my


    condominium instead of riding a tricycle. Second, I cut down my use of the aircon and make
    sure to unplug or turn off appliances I am not using. Third, I don’t eat meat every day, I try to
    eat as many fresh fruits and vegetables instead. These help the environment because there
    will be fewer greenhouse gases that cause climate change. Fourth, I don’t take long baths
    but take quick showers to save water. Fifth, I don’t buy unnecessary goods, and I always
    think before I purchase anything. Being a responsible buyer is a sustainability action
    because it avoids wasting Earth’s resources.

    The consumption category I need to make the most adjustments in for my ecological
    footprint to be lowered are mobility, food, and shelter. To lower my consumption in the
    mobility category, I should carpool more with my friend who also lives in Cavite. Going back
    and forth more than twice a week from Ateneo to Cavite in a private vehicle and going on
    road trips with my family produces a lot of pollution that is bad for the environment. To lower
    my consumption in the food category, I should eat less processed food. I love eating snacks
    that are processed, but the process of mass producing them contributes to agricultural
    pollution. Lastly, to lower my consumption of shelter, I should encourage my parents to try
    renewable energy sources to help the environment. On a scale of 1-10 (with 10 being the
    most willing), I rate my willingness to commit to those changes a 7. I will do my best because
    I care for our planet, but I will have to do it slowly.
