300 words sustainability essay

profilefrank123123

 

Each of your textbook chapters has a "Bring It Home" conclusion naming personal choices you can make to help our world be more sustainable. Please list 4 personal choices, from any 4 different chapters (one each per any 4 of the 25 chapters) that have meant the most to you, and explain how you can personally make lifestyle changes that will have an impact on sustainability. What challenges do you face with these changes? For instance, if you want to use more public transportation, are the schedules and routes adequate? If you want to be a vegan, do you have the support of your roommates, friends or family who may be enthusiastic carnivores? Do you have international efforts underway, or want to start or join a larger movement? Choose the four ways you can personally be more sustainable, and if you've already made some changes, write about challenges you've faced to make these changes and/or rewards you experienced.  

You must answer within a word-count (no less than 200 words, maximum count 350 words for entire essay (all four lifestyle choices are within one essay), citation sources do not count towards the wordcount, albeit words you cite within quotes do count, citing material from the course content, and using proper English grammar. A minimum of four different course reference sources from the course content (at least one chapter reference and at least one course video reference) are required to support your ideas for the entire essay. For textbook chapter references, you must provide author and page number(s), as example: (Karr, et al, p.57). For video references, you must provide video name with a minutes:seconds timestamp, as example: (The Future of Food: A Looming Crisis, 33:54) Outside-course citations may be used but will not be counted towards the four required. There is no need for a separate works cited page, please credit your sources within the body of your essay.  Do NOT cite Wikipedia in this assignment.  

If the formatting is off when you copy and paste, no worries, as long as you have the word count, good grammar and correct spelling,  I won't delete points if the formatting is off (this occasionally happens when you copy and paste).  Be sure to read the rubric below to earn as many points as possible:  

Your grading rubric is as follows:

30pts if within wordcount requirement (no less than 200, no more than 350) 80pts lifestyle changes to support sustainability (20 each of 4) 40pts course material citations from different sources - use different chapters, include at least one video source (10pts each of 4)  

Points will be deducted if necessary as follows: -5 poor grammar -10 typos/spelling errors
