Aspirational as I am, I hope that these films inspire you to take up direct environmental action as your next summer hobby. Happy watching!

Whatever steps you can take in your own routine, whether that be with your closet, your shoes, anything in which you have a large collection, to break out of the mindset of consumerism will benefit the planet.

Understanding the implications of the Willow Project is an important first step to acknowledging the incredibly detrimental effects the development will have on the entire country.

So instead of being bogged down by fear, let it fuel you. Know that you aren’t alone in fighting climate change, that your actions matter and that it’s only as a unified front that we will be able to move to a sustainable future.

As a freshman living in Unit Two last year, I cherished my dorm room view. I no longer live in the dorms, but I can imagine that the view is quite similar, with one major exception: that canopy of trees, the foliage over People’s Park, no longer exists.

Getting away for spring break is fun and an essential moment in the year to reset, and luckily it can be done in a respectful and environmentally responsible way.

In a lecture the other day, my professor posed a question: how many people know that throwing away organic waste is soon to become illegal in California? No one, myself included, raised their hand. What was this law and why didn’t anyone, assumedly all people who have thrown something away in the state, know anything about its existence?

The Daily Clog wishes everyone the best of luck in the hunt for eggs in the coming weeks and months. As fun as having an apartment pet may be, hopefully we won’t all have to turn to raising chickens out of our rooms.

In the scope of environmentalism, there are many creative alternatives to trashing your household goods. Sustainable modes of reusing not just clothing, but also items have sprung up as ways to repurpose materials without engaging the process of recycling and large industries of redistribution.

Vegetarian, vegan, pescatarian, Meatless Mondays, I’m sure you’ve heard all of these terms thrown around when people discuss eating practices that are environmentally friendly. These methods all have a common thread: reducing or eliminating the amount of meat, especially red meat, that you consume in order to reduce your personal carbon footprint.
