Eco-Chic Lifestyle Change Week 1: My SMART Goal

For the next ten weeks, we will be focusing on a SMART goal that we have made for ourselves. SMART stands for specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and timely. My SMART goal is: 


I will take public transportation to and from school three or more days of the week for the next ten weeks. 

This goal is eco-chic because I am reducing energy consumption and saving money by not using as much gas, saving wear and tear on my car by reducing the number of miles I am putting on it and helping to improve air quality by reducing harmful pollutants emitted. 


I chose this goal because even though public transportation is offered to me for free through UMD, I still find myself driving to school. It is a huge waste of money and resources. I especially hate driving in the snow, so I want to get in a good habit of taking the bus everyday so I can easily avoid that obstacle. I am really excited to challenge myself to make a change and plan on starting today, November 10th! Wish me luck :)
