In order to lower my annual CO2 production, there are a number of actions I can take.
1) Changing light bulbs will reduce the amount of electricity I consume.
2) I do not drive, but flying has caused my CO2 production to increase dramatically. When given the option, I will take other forms of transportation (bus or train).
3) Food consumption is another aspect I would like to change. Buying local and organic foods will help both health as well of energy consumption. I am planning on going to the farmers market whenever possible.
4) Changing my practices as an artist is another big change I plan on undertaking. I hope to find ways to reuse found objects or old object i have. This allows me to in order take products out of the cycle and not introduce anything new at the same time. I tend to be very wasteful in my studio, so whatever i can do to cut down waste and excess consumption of materials.
