Costa Rica: 1b. Pre-conference.
How do these simulations relate to your community? Do any of them feel irrelevant to your context?
most of these simulations didn't relate a lot to my community because my community is really small and most of the people in it recycle and buy their fruits and vegetables for local farmers.
How do these simulations help you (or not help you) find your place in combatting climate change?
It helped me realice that a great way of combatting climate change is by buying food that is grown locally by doing these we will have less carbon footprint, sometimes we think that why change something if everyone else is doing it?, what difference does it make if I stop buying exported meal? it makes a big difference because change happens little by little.
Have these simulations changed how you think climate change should be tackled?
yes, it does, because before I wasn't aware that exported food made such a big carbon footprint. Now I think that global warming can be stoped if we make small changes in our lives, if we start on small projects and end up with a big project. if we can make a small change in our life to safe a planet, why think about it twice?

Kudos to you and your community Heather for being very environment friendly.
With your new knowledge and practical example, you can be a good "Ambassador of Environmental sustainability"
Do you have plans to share your new knowledge with those that are yet to understand their impact on the environment? That could be your "small project"....:) Please let us know about your project when you start....:)
Great thinking Heather.
