No Impact Man Blog

After reading "No Impact Man", I thought there was no way I could go to the same extremes as Colin Beavan did. He sacraficed so much just for the environment. Although I know I cannot do as much as Colin accomplished, I have started to do little things to reduce my "carbon footprint". I was not able to bring my car with me to college so I do walk mostly everywhere. I try to use recyclable products as much as possible and I hold on to my trash (which sounds gross) until I am able to find a recycle bin to put it in. I am also trying to get my roommate to start recycling now that the dorm has provided us with recylcing bins. I also turn off all lights and electronics when they are not needed and we do not use the air conditioning system unless we are sleeping, and the setting is normally on low.
