Which aspect of sustainability made the biggest impression on you – do you think you’ll be able to try and incorporate it in to your everyday life?

Recycling properly is really important. I try to incorporate it as much as I can already! Fact- If you put your recycling into garbage bags it gets disposed into general waste instead.

Think back to the session on personal sustainability – how balanced do you think your life is?

Pretty balanced, I’d like to think. I’m pretty lucky to have the things I have.

Are you investing enough time and energy in to the things that fulfill & inspire you? Do you need to make any changes?

I think so. I’d like to spend more time making art. Get a job. Work hard to be able to do more of the things I love.

How was mini trail? Are you pleased with the quality of information that you & your team gathered? Would you do anything differently given the opportunity? How was your teamwork – was there a different dynamic from your experiences with the City Grid task? 

Mini trail went quite well. We got to the gallery quickly and split up into pairs to complete surveys. Though we didn’t get a great amount of information, we got all that we needed and wanted. In our free time we even managed to get a look around the 21st century art exhibit as well as HYPER NATURAL. As for teamwork, there was a bit of difficulty around organising the presentation as the majority of the team wanted a more simple presentation while another member insisted on keeping a 33 slide prezi centred around the word ART. In the end (though it hasn’t really happened yet) some negotiation was made, but nothing is final. We’ll see how it goes tomorrow.
