I am glad I am at school. I am glad that I have chosen Environmental and Resource Science as my degree. If I had not chosen this I would not be able to make the following statement:
The first change we, as people, need to make to stop environmental degradation, to stop or make a positive impact on climate change is to stop being consumers. Consumerism governs our lives. Stop and think "Do I need this?" "Why?" "Can I live without this?" We buy and we buy and we buy, and the media makes us believe that by buying some more we are going to save the planet. No. Stop buying for a moment and see what happens.
So from this day on I am going to try my best to truly live the life I believe in. Live to reduce my waste, buy when necessary, and as my mother has raised me - make do with what I have. I believe this will definitely encourage me to be frugal, thrifty and creative. Hmmm should lead to an interesting turn on my blog The Spotted Fashionista. Anywhos. I urge you to make the change too. It's going to be difficult, yes, I don't doubt it. But it will be worth it.
