Tiny Choices Survey: Gina!
By tinychoices | May 16, 2008
Vital statistics (name, age, location, link to website/blog)?
Gina, 33 – New York City.
How do you reside (apartment or house, roommates)?Are your housing decisions dictated by choice or necessity? Please explain.
I live in a tiny studio in Manhattan. This, of course is dictated by necessity because I’m a working gal.
How do you travel (transit, car, etc)?Are your travel decisions dictated by choice or necessity? Please explain.
I travel mostly by foot, bicycle and public transportation. We have a great mass transportation system in this city, so that’s a plus.
Tell us about a Tiny Choice you’ve made in your life.
I turn my computer off every time I log off. I never realized this, but most people leave it on!
What is the one environmental dilemma you personally struggle the most with?
Cars. Too many cars!
What is one Tiny Choice you can make in that direction?
I don’t have one, and there are no plans to get one. However if I have to, I’d look into getting a Hybrid.
What is the one environmental Tiny Choice you make that people question (in either a positive educational or a negative hassle way) you the most about?
Buying bottled water. My mother always tells me to boil my water but I don’t like the taste. I would drink the tap water more if it didn’t come out brown from my faucet. Don’t get me wrong, NYC has some of the best tap water in the nation. I think the pipes in my building are a bit rusty. I plan on buying a water filter and trying that out.
What is the one environmental Tiny Choice you would like every single person to adopt?
Conserving energy. This can be done in a myriad of ways, but the first step is awareness and education.
Do you feel like you make sacrifices for environmentalism? Please explain.
I don’t feel like I’m making any sacrifices as it takes minimal effort to be aware. I’m not the perfect poster child for all things “Green” but I do my best to be mindful of my environment.
Are you generally: optimistic, pessimistic, neutral about environmentalism and the future?
I’m optimistic about the future of environmentalism. It has come to the forefront of everyone’s mind recently as larger companies take responsibility to operate in a more environment-friendly way. It’s a great way to educate the general public.
