Investigating the UN Sustainable Development Goals has influenced my thinking and actions. Around the house I have started to turn off the lights and other electronic devices which is a way to sustainably use my energy so I don’t waste energy I don’t need. This is an easy way to contribute to the accomplishment of goal 7 Affordable and Clean Energy because the idea behind this goal is to ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all. Wasting energy that isn’t needed is not how you sustainably use energy, this gives limited access to others in need of your excess energy. I have started to think about my future and without these goals accomplished it seems like there can be many problems in the long run. In the future I see myself using an energy efficient electric car to help reduce unwanted greenhouse gas emissions which are destroying our atmosphere.This type of car helps stop climate change by not releasing greenhouse gases into the atmosphere whereas most everyday cars do in fact emit these greenhouse gases.These cars are a part of the solution for Goal 13 Climate Action. I also think in the future or even right now that I can have a big influence on the world with something as small as my school blog.This blog can change the way many people think about the world and what they can do to accomplish the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
