Who Am I and Why Should You Care

Hello, and welcome to my blog on making Saskatoon a climate friendly zone! My name is Kaitlin Edstrom and I am a 5th year Environmental Biology student at the University of Saskatchewan. I have joined forces with the Saskatchewan Environmental Society (SES) to increase awareness of climate change and gain support from our community. 

My goal of this blog is to educate you and increase your awareness of the climate changes that are currently happening around our globe. Anthropogenic activity is the main cause of global warming and many people are unaware of the small changes they can make each and every day to do their part in helping the environment. I plan on providing you with ways to minimize your ecological footprint and decreasing your waste. Have you ever calculated your ecological footprint? Do you have any idea how much land area it would take to support your current lifestyle? I encourage you to take a few minutes out of your day to take this quiz and calculate your ecological footprint. This is the first step in doing your part to help the environment!
