Don't check your emails more than once a day. Only turn on your computer when you need to. Plan your computer use ahead of time so that you can save your self time and not be a slave to technology. This will also save energy too of course.

What would you do if you were tech-free for a day?

 When taking your daily jog outside, bring a reuseable water bottle instead of plastic bottle.

Start a nature journal - to write down your observations for what plants or animals are coming out or back to your area...such as birds...what plants are budding out or what trees leaf out first. Maybe you would like to learn to sketch out some of your observations.

I aspire to complete my Master's degree in Environmental and Earth Science with an emphasis on Aquatic Ecology.

Are you planning a career in conservation?  Share how you got interested in this exciting, important field.

Every night that i'm home, I'll take one or two hours to light my small apartment with candle light! It saves energy, and brings me back to a simpler time!

To save water...put a large plastic bottle full of water, (close the lid of the bottle) in the toilet cistern; this will cut down on the consumption of water used when flushing by about a litre.
 

 Go on a rock hunt. Round up youngsters and set off to collect rocks of all different types. Then sit and talk about why you chose the rocks you chose. Maybe learn what they are and how they got there. 

Don't throw out anything without asking yourself if it can be reused. I got this mentality from backpacking, where you have very few resources to work with. Lots of food packaging like plastic bags, if opened carefully, can be reused for something else.

How do you re-use items in your household?

Seek out no-waste packaging.  I look for products with recyclable packaging.  I avoid tetrapak, styrofoam and unnecessary bags.  I don't buy products in clamshell packing unless I absolutely have to.  Making those choices means less waste, and fewer garbage bags too.  It's a ripple effect.
