I think the hours of labor matter the most to me because there are so many people who work such long hours to support their families on very low wages and if I were to save enough to make a few more meals those people might have to work a little less. 

I feel like I am able to reuse and repurpose a lot of stuff just around my house and in my room. I always like finding another use for something, so that way I know that its not going to waste.

You can protect peatlands by using less carbon and plastic, and some other things that pollute the environment. Peatlands are very important so we should preserve them.

I could give money and help other people and my self create our own geothermal energy systems and have them pass it on.

In Asheville, with our mountains,  I don't know how that would affect how useful and convenient they could become In any area other than the main city. There many buildings could make use of them

I had heard of biomass in the most traditional sense (that is a wood burning furnace to heat an individual house) but I had never heard of it as a means of producing sustainable, clean, efficient heating. I think it is wonderful that we have such a low tech- easily implemented and (most importantly) eco-friendly form of energy production to help us wean off of fossil fuels and hold us over until we develop a more flexible and efficient power grid to accommodate more long term sustainable energy solutions.

Peatlands seem like an invaluable resource to the global ecosystem, and a resource that has largely yet to be drained by humans at that. I hope to see the 85% of remaining peatlands stay intact, and continue to absorb Co2 from the atmosphere. I plan on purchasing products made with either sustainable palm oil or no palm oil whatsoever in order to stop supporting the companies who are destroying these valuable peat lands for profit.
