People in wealthier countries tend to consume more meat than those in poorer countries due to higher incomes and the availability of meat products.

To reduce my electricity usage, I can do a few different things. I can turn off lights and appliances when I am not directly using them. I can take shorter showers. I can unplug devices when they are not in use. I can replace incandescent light bulbs with LED bulbs. And much more.

Considering how many hours of sleep I get now, I would definitely want to shift my sleeping patterns. I go to bed late and I think it would be very beneficial if I went to bed maybe 2 hours earlier. I think I should get off my phone around 10 so that it doesn't distract me.

By only using water when it is necessary and by limiting the time I use to wash my hands.

Trash on the floor and not recycling correctly.

Focusing on being more environmentally friendly so that I can bring others to do the same.

Luckily, we aren't around any seawater, so it wouldn't affect us much.

Usually when I'm going to church, I prefer to ride with my parents so that we don't use more carbon than what we have to.

Farmers are most affected. Since they use the same water system, if it is contaminated, it is unusable, which means a loss of profit.

Bottled water is so accessible that it makes it easier to use, but using a reusable bottle means you don't have to pick up a bottle of water.
