- Explain what sustainability means to you.
- Consider giving examples of your personal experiences. If you do not feel comfortable sharing your personal experiences, you may use different examples that resonate with you. For instance, you may use media or news examples that reflect what sustainability means to you.
- Describe how considering sustainability affects your daily life.
- For example, if you think about sustainability when making decisions about transportation, you may decide to use public transportation instead of driving a vehicle with no passengers. This could save you money on gas, but it might pose other issues related to convenience or time management.
- Describe decisions you could consider making about a sustainability issue like the above example, along with the positive and negative impacts of the decisions on your daily life.
- Describe how your daily actions and behaviors can impact the environment.
- For instance, if you choose to use public transportation as in the example above, your daily commute could support sustainability by reducing carbon emissions that harm the environment.
- Describe how your daily actions and behaviors related to the decisions you described above (or other decisions) can help or harm the environment.
