What actions could you (in theory) undertake that would improve the sustainability of your life style? What might be preventing you from doing these?


One of the actions I could take to improve the sustainability of my life style would be to car share, with other course members. There are a few of us coming from Milton Keynes, so instead of all of us coming in different cars we decided to car share. I think this is a great idea, as it safes us money and its good for the environment.

The thing which might prevent us from doing this could be conflict within the group. For example an argument could happen, which might cause problems. This might result in the group not wanting to car share anymore, which then means we go back to driving our own cars and back to polluting the environment.

Another thing I could would be doing is to recycle properly. At the moment I don't take this seriously and I do sometimes put the rubbish in the wrong bags because I'm in a rush , or I just cant be bothered. I think this is a very lazy attitude and one which I need to change quickly, if I want to help contribute to a better environment for both this and the next generation to live in. I'm going to make more of an effort to use each bags as they are meant to be used, and try very hard not to fall back into my old habits.

I would also love to start eating more healthy.At the moment I eat allot of junk food which isn't good for me, so I would like to add more fruit and vegetable's to my diet. I think this will help me become more healthier, and give me more energy. Also I think in the long run it will help me to get into a more healthier routine which could benefit me a great deal.

The thing which is stopping me from doing this is bad habit. I have fallen into a habit which is hard to break out of because I m so used to it, so it will be difficult for me to adjust to something else.
