Katee Sackhoff's video: HACKING MY CARBON FOOTPRINT Ft UCLA expert Nurit Katz

Guys....I calculated my carbon footprint, and it is not a pretty sight :( Global warming, greenhouse gases, sea levels rising, ice caps melting....we hear these terms so often that they have sadly become background noise to many of us, myself included. But it's true, the environment is in trouble, and I wanna get educated on how much I'm contributing to the problem, and what more I can do to help fix it! A huge thanks to UCLA and Nurit Katz, Chief Sustainability Officer! Nurit is an amazing educator and gave me so much incredible information. I was genuinely interested in everything she had to say and could have talked to her for hours. Check out the links below to some of the things she references in our chat! - Nurit Katz UCLA Sustainability: https://www.sustain.ucla.edu/about-us/contacts/nurit-katz/ - Get educated with a certificate in sustainability at UCLA: www.https://bit.ly/2L0RvDP - Carbon Footprint of Food Calcuations: www.meals4planet.org - The Semel Healthy Campus Initiative Center at UCLA: www.healthy.ucla.edu/ - Laboratory for Environmental Narrative Strategies: www.ioes.ucla.edu/lens - Chris Jordan Photographic Arts: www.chrisjordan.com To do the same carbon footprint test I did: https://www.conservation.org/carbon-footprint-calculator #/ Or if you want to get an even more detailed result: https://www.carbonfootprint.com/calculator.aspx Let me know in the comments what your results are and the things you are working on to make a positive change to your environmental impact! DISCLAIMER: I am aware that there has been some controversy around the "Our Planet" walrus jumping scene that I was watching at the beginning of this episode. Whether or not global warming is the reason behind these majestic creatures falling to their deaths doesn't really matter in the context of this video, it is still the thing that got me off my butt and it doesn't change the fact that the evidence behind climate change is irrefutable. The ice IS melting. Animals ARE being affected. And we NEED to do something about it. And if watching those walruses fall to their deaths gets people motivated like it did for me, then all the power to 'Our Planet'. ------------------ VIDEOGRAPHY/EDITING: Peter Macaluso ‣ https://www.instagram.com/_macarony/ Follow me on social and subscribe to my channel to keep updated on this whole YouTube thing, on my film and television work, and on my many other adventures :) YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/kateesackhoffdotcom Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/therealkateesackhoff/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/officialkateesackhoff/ Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/kateesackhoff
