When looking back over this past week of an intense session of sustainability, the most important issue I learned is that there is a gigantic problem of consumerism going on in this world whether we realize it or not. It really got the wheels turning in my head when I began to think through, "where does all of my old clothes, furniture, bedding, and possessions go when I dispose them?" Do they all really go straight to a landfill? More than likely, yes. A sense of guilt overcame when as I realized I hadn't been doing my best whatsoever to prevent this. This guilt made me even more proactive to be changing the future of my possessions for whenever I am ready to "get rid of" or dispose of them. Learning more about sustainability and how it can truly impact the world around us made it clear to me that I can help with the issue by starting to do the little things myself. After developing a better knowledge of this issue, my new goal is to help discover ways to prevent the situation that has consumed our lifestyles. I want to feed off of ideas that have already been suggested such as recycling, and narrow it down to specific products that are needed to be recycled the most. I want to discover what products are constantly being needed by consumers, and what materials our world lacks the most of. This is my goal for the next few weeks.
