The environment
dimension is defined by “an appreciation of the external environment and the role individuals play in preserving, protecting and improving it. It also includes a student’s personal studying environment- desk, room, lighting, noise level, etc.” (Donatelle& Thompson.2011, p.4) On this questionnaire I scored a low of 19/40 because even though I do recycle, I don’treport people who don’t recycle. At home my family and I recycle because we have the proper bins, such as the green and blue bin. When I’m out I try to always recycle but, there are times when there aren’t any bins around and I do happen to pollute. As you can tell all of my weaknesses are highlighted in this category, but I will try my best to try and make this category a good one like the rest. For instance my good strengths in this category is I reduce plastic bags and also use both sides of the paper when taking class notes or doing an assignment. I reduce my plastic bags when it comes to making lunch because I use the same bag to put my sandwich inside. I also take notes on both sides of the paper because it was the way I was taught in elementary school to always save paper by writing on both sides, but I’m sure if I wasn’t told that I probably wouldn’t write on both sides. Some areas were I could improve on is by not letting the tap run while brushing my teeth or showering and considering how much packaging is covering a product when buying groceries. |
