Course: HRT 219 Organic and Sustainable Practices

Assignment: Sustainability at Home Paper

Sustainability at Home Paper Due

Take a look at your habits at home and see what organic and sustainability principles you can implement in your own life. Focus on these three areas; food, waste, and lawn/outside. Spend a couple of weeks taking notes on what your habits are now.

Here are some suggestions (but you are not limited to these)

- Where does my food come from?
- What do I throw away that is compostable?
- What do I do with my food scraps?
- What do I throw away? Is any of it reusable?
- Do I have outside areas (e.g. yard, patio, deck) around my home that can be made more sustainable?

After you’ve taken time to analyze your current habits, think about the principles, topics, and activities we’ve covered in class. How can you use these ideas to create a more sustainable lifestyle? What activities or projects do you want to do?

Please write a 2 page paper discussing what your current habits are and detailing what sustainable practices or activities you want to do at home.

All papers should use Times New Roman font, 12 pt font size, and single spacing.

Paper must be submitted by 11:59 pm on the last day of Unit 13. Once you have completed the Paper, click on the "Dropbox: Sustainability @ Home" in the Content Menu to learn how to submit the assignment.
