No Impact Week!

Sunday- Consumption
I'm not gonna lie, I'm extremely wasteful. Consumption is my weakness! I just love buying stuff because having something new is always fun. I don't go out and buy useless stuff though, I'm more of a clothes/shoes/accessories-crazy kind of girl. Of course I bought snacks today to get me through the week. It wasn't even in bulk either because my mom was waiting until next week to renew her Costco card. Random information that nobody really needs to know, but it helps add on to my story.

Monday- Trash
I did an uh-oh because right when I got into University Seminar I opened up my granola bar. Oops! I was just so hungry and finding something that didn't use trash was way too much work at the time. It's not like I just so happened to have some fresh fruit stuffed in my bag either. I'm definitely going shopping for fruits this weekend though

Tuesday- Transportation
Because I live on campus it just seems like walking is the only way of getting anywhere. I hardly drive my car anyway because at the College Inn dorms it's almost impossible getting a parking spot, and luckily I had one. Actually I don't even think I drove this whole week because I had a parking spot.

Wednesday- Food
I love food with a burning passion, so this one I wasn't too thrilled about. I pretty much did everything normal except I drank more water and less sugar filled drinks.

Thursday- Energy
Now I'm more aware of when I leave things plugged in after I'm done using them, so I did good for that. Also my roommate and I usually rely on the sun for light until about 6 or so, and today we stayed true to that habit.

Friday- Water
We bought a water filter!!!! And luckily my sister came into town to visit me (..okay and go clubbing) and she brought me my reusable water bottle. Of course it's this cute blue one with a big pink peace sign on it. Nothing but the best :)

Saturday- Give Back
I usually try and be as nice to people as I can so today felt like every other day. Except we did drive down to the Square, even though it would have been a nice little walk.

Sunday- Eco-Sabbath
Eco Sabbath was sort of non existent for me. It was difficult to just...sit there. Probably because of this fast paced world we live in, I always want to go out and do stuff, or watch TV or check my Facebook, etc. I actually went shopping and drove to the outlet malls D: I know if my heart was really in it I could of been more aware of my actions
