    • What is the financial cost or benefit of the change?
    • What health benefits are associated with the change?

    • What is the impact on your lifestyle if you make the change?

Finally, address the following in regard to your chosen changes overall:

  • What message are you trying to convey? Highlight the main points you want to present.
  • How do your personal choices affect environmental health?
  • Include a reference to the information from at least two reputable sources that support your choices. What do other sources of information say about these concepts?

Answer preview…………

Everybody is responsible for the conservation of resources in the environment through making changes in areas in their daily lives. I believe that there are several areas that I should change to ensure that I preserve resources and therefore play my role. The areas include shopping, waste disposal, laundry, food consumption, bathing, teeth brushing, travel, the use of electronics, smoking, and the consumption of energy in the home. For the assignment, the paper will focus on five main areas that include the use of electronics, traveling, the consumption of food, fixing of leaks in the house, and waste disposal. I believe that changes in the five areas may make a significant impact in environmental conservation………..
