On Monday the goal was to not make trash and the way I did that was to use a reusable container. This was difficult to do in Jones dining hall since students can't get free refills, however in commons since the food there is served buffet style and you can get free refills it was easier to use my reusable drink container.
Tuesday was transportation day so I walked to school like I usually do,but I took my walking another level when I walked to and from the tennis courts to practice with the team. This was tough since after practice I was tired and had to walk all the way back to my dorm!
On Wednesday my roommates and I visited the farmer's market and bought us some hunny and homemade taquitos. After going to the market I realized how hard it would be to find fresh food like Beaven did in NYC.
Thursday I unplugged my electronics before I left for class and then I walked down five flights of stairs to get out of my dorm. This was a pain since I had to keep plugging and unplugging my electronics to get any sufficient charge. The stairs part of Thursday was easier to do since I did a lot of walking on Tuesday from practice.
Friday after brushing my teeth I saved water by turning it off and we also let the “yellow mellow” in the toilet. This was beneficial because it saved water and has allowed us to sleep longer. Which kept me in good terms with my roommates.
Saturday I held the door open for random people no matter if it was the elevator or the dorm entrance so they could carry their heavy packages. I know how difficult it is to carry your packages, pick your right floor, and insert the key without everything falling out so I helped others avoid that on Saturday.
Finally Sunday I relaxed by playing dominoes and cards. By doing this it saved electricity that we would have used on the computer or on the TV. This day was the easiest but was also the hardest since i am use to use electronic on the weekend all the time.
