Passive Beverage Choice?

As I log into Zoom for our Friday film festival meetings, I ritually pour my drink – either an energy drink or carbonated water. These drinks became a part of my daily routine with the start of virtual classes, and remained a passive part of my success in this past year of college.

I never stopped to think about this practice until joining the SSFF team. Now, as I watch the bubbles rise to the surface of the glass, I wonder:

“what is the impact of my passive beverage choice?” and “what is my role in changing it?”

This internal dialogue then leads to deeper questions… about the meaning of sustainability, my part in it and the endlessness of choices in our world.
