To be perfectly honest i do very little to practice sustainability,
i took the quiz and found i'd need 1.6 planet earths to provdie enough resources, 3 global hectares, emit 5-8 tonnes of carbon, and 44% of my ecological footprint os food related.
I'm very bad sustainabiltity wise for instance i would drive my car the 4 blocks to tech instead of take an umbrella, or i sit with my electric heater on when im cold. The one thing i am very productive with is recycling, and smaller steps such as not accepting carrier bags, and using less rubbish bin bags. I also have paid the carbon offsetting voluntary payment twice through air new zealand since i was aware of it. But i am also aware there are a lot more things i could do, but currently use the narrow-minded approach of i'll live more sustainably when im older and settled and not in "student mode"

It is good that backy has taken small steps to achieve more in trying to be sustainable. I can relate with doing very little to contribute. I also agree with living more sustainably when setteling down more.

Yeah man. Go easy on yourself. Not accepting plastic bags and paying to offset your carbon volunteerly is fantastic. Good to identify that you need an umbrella. There are always things we can do better. You do need to stay warm too and as a student it is hard to find other options to using a heater. Do what you can with the situation you are in. Walking/biking to tech is definitely something you can change. Don't beat yourself up as that just leads to feeling crap and then taking the easy option. What you're already doing is great - build on that! :) anna
