Do you ever feel conflicted using products you know may harm the environment, and how do you reconcile that?
@9H7PNW22yrs2Y
Not really, however i do think the enviroment is important as God calls us to take care of where we live however it shouldnt risk the economy and workers jobs.
Those products should be decreased in production, to prevent more environmental damage

Yes I do, however I don't do much to change it but I should

It's not that I don't feel like doing something or I'm lazy, I just can't since I'm busy.
@9H7PK2J2yrs2Y
yes but i dont have access to different items because of the fact that the better stuff is more expensive.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
What's the toughest objection you've heard against sustainable practices, and how would you address it?
@9KKDW2J1yr1Y
"Sustainability is too expensive." By when we purchase sustainable items and it can be in fact be really expensive.
@9KKFX4M1yr1Y
I have heard that the majority of all items sent for recycling end up in landfills. There should be more regulation concerning the handling and sorting of trash as well as incentives to create recycled products.
@9KKDG621yr1Y
I have heard objections due to funding. I would address this with the fact that saving the Earth and ensuring a future for the human race is more important than money.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How do you think your choice of diet impacts the environment, and have you considered changing it for sustainability reasons?
@9J6VMSL1yr1Y
yes but. I really have a difficult time giving up "bad food"
@9J7LGP91yr1Y
While it's true that the human diet requires meat for certain proteins, fats etc that cannot be taken from plants, the meat and dairy industry is cruel and should be reformed to more humane methods of farming. That's not to say that soy farms aren't also damaging to the environment.
@9J6W3261yr1Y
I think we need to prioritize healthy diets above sustainability because many diets that people choose to be sustainable have a negative impact on their health
@9J6VY43Libertarian1yr1Y
I think that in a sense it matters but in all honesty I think that in the whole aspect of things the stuff we eat doesn't change a thing.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
What's one eco-friendly gadget you can't live without, and why is it important to you?
I prefer to buy clothes from thrift stores rather than buying new clothes.

How would you persuade others that conserving water is crucial for our planet?
@9L2SSH51yr1Y
The water most of us use is that of which behaves much like a water bottle and not the tap, it's not actually as infinite as you think and there is always a limit to the water throughput of any and all rivers in the world so try not to waste water some is fine, but lots like a fully on sink gives people the right to be a bit hissy with you.
By showing them the uses and vitality of water and how to conserve it.
@9L2SGCR 1yr1Y
By using less water we can help preserve this precious resource and ensure a sustainable future for generations to come.

@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
What role do you think your generation has in the fight against climate change?
I think out generation has to pick up the pieces from past decades of damage they have caused in our climate.

Climate change can only be avoided if everyone including those with mass amounts of power to chose to save the earth and stop wasting and destroying resources from the earth.

In what ways do you think your community is falling short in sustainable practices, and how can it improve?
@9H6BNN72yrs2Y
Until it becomes trendy, sustainable development won't be treated as a serious issue. It needs to be marketed as something that's a social liability to not follow.
