Trees are essential to maintaining our climate and biodiversity. Trees contribute to the global environment by improving air quality, conserving water, preserving soil, and supporting wildlife. During the process of photosynthesis, trees take out carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and produce the oxygen we breathe.

Trees are the largest plants on the planet and the longest living species on earth, providing a link between the past, present and future. Some Oak trees for instance can live for over 1000 years, so a woodland planted today could easily outlive all of us and provide a long term carbon store.

By supporting international tree planting projects, you can compensate for your environmental impact, protect wildlife and benefit local communities.

Our topic was the effects of food consumption to the footprints. Food consumption is amongst the main drivers of environmental impacts. Food processing and logistics are the next most important phases in terms of environmental impacts, due to their energy intensity and the related emissions to the atmosphere that occur through the production of heat, steam and electricity and during transport.

I recently observed that we ate too much chicken and meat in the dining hall. We are not aware of what is healthy and light for our body. The impacts of these kind of foods are very clear and visible.

Until these times I always used bus to go to the university but after our AguWays lesson I decided and started to ride bicycle.
I realized that I have consumed too much fast food which requires unfriendly oils for the environment and I stopped eating them.
During Black Friday even though my friends bought new clothes I didn’t buy anything and I decided to use ones which I already had.
I stay at dormitory and I always observe the energy is not saving by some irresponsible people. They always left the light open after they used it and I always close lights after them. Finally I have warned one of them and he said me that he will be aware of it from now.
