    Whenever I go for a walk in my neighborhood I feel like I see what my neighborhood looks like. Whenever I drive through my neighborhood I feel like I don't really see what it looks like.

    I noticed I got more work done. What I found hard was actually not look at it while it was going off. I spent the time by see what homework I had to do and how long each assignment will take and take breaks between each assignment.

      Some things that come to mind when thinking about how to reduce one's environmental footprint are to recycle whenever possible, turn off lights, turn off the faucet, drive less, increase household efficiency (ex: fluorescent bulbs, smart thermostats, proper insulation, etc.). Also, people can elect government officials and invest in companies that support the environment.
