This wastes fresh water, electricity, and raises the water/electric bills because of added loads of clothes/dishes. If I hand wash or put in fuller loads this will reduce the overall cost of washing and less waste product in terms of water and electricity.]]> 2017-09-26 17:19:40 UTC https://padlet.com/hardinj12/jm5rc63cqa9l/wish/191373679 https://padlet.com/hardinj12/jm5rc63cqa9l/wish/191374375 2017-09-26 17:20:41 UTC https://padlet.com/hardinj12/jm5rc63cqa9l/wish/191374375 https://padlet.com/hardinj12/jm5rc63cqa9l/wish/191374448 One activity I do that has an impact on the environment is driving. By driving a lot, I deplete natural resources such as oil. The effect my driving has on ecological services is that my driving pollutes the air. The environment provides us with the service of clean air to breath, but by driving my car pollutes the air, harming this ecological service. To reduce the negative effects of my driving, I can try walking or biking more. I can also try to carpool more often to reduce my negative impact.

Using plastic water bottles creates a mass of waste, especially in the ocean. The plastic affects the water and the animals as it can release harmful chemicals.If animals eat the plastic there is a high chance they will die from choking on it or from the chemicals themselves. Aside from the ocean, the burning and creating of plastic water bottles is highly polluting to the air and land. Most water bottle companies are scams as well. The '"clean and pure" water is usually bottled up tap water. ]]> 2017-09-26 17:21:16 UTC https://padlet.com/hardinj12/jm5rc63cqa9l/wish/191374733 https://padlet.com/hardinj12/jm5rc63cqa9l/wish/191374910 Something I do that has an impact is throwing everything away in the trash. Whether it's recyclable or not I usually just throw the item away. If I were to recycle more often it would save more natural resources such as trees. ]]> 2017-09-26 17:21:31 UTC https://padlet.com/hardinj12/jm5rc63cqa9l/wish/191374910 https://padlet.com/hardinj12/jm5rc63cqa9l/wish/191375198 grocery shopping is something i do often. I usually get plastic bags to hold my food and this effects the ecological services and natural resources because if they are not thrown away properly or reused they could float around and cause a negative impact on our resources and pollute the environment. ]]> 2017-09-26 17:21:57 UTC https://padlet.com/hardinj12/jm5rc63cqa9l/wish/191375198 https://padlet.com/hardinj12/jm5rc63cqa9l/wish/191375412 One thing that i do that has an impact on the environment is that i use a lot of unneeded water by taking 45 minute showers twice a day . ]]> 2017-09-26 17:22:17 UTC https://padlet.com/hardinj12/jm5rc63cqa9l/wish/191375412 https://padlet.com/hardinj12/jm5rc63cqa9l/wish/191376158 one activity that I think I can change to make an impact on the environment is less drink water from plastic bottle.
