No Impact week

Sunday(consumption): Consumption day was really bad for me because I wasted a lot of things and also bought a lot of things. I consumed more than 8 bottles of water that day which i went to buy at our local H-E-B. I just could have filled bottles of water that I had hanging out in my dorm but no i had to go and buy new ones instead of using what I had.

Monday(trash): Trying to limit myself to reduce trash is a challenge to me because I alone create to much trash in my dorm. This challenge was a fail for me :/. I couldn't do anything about reducing my habits of creating trash. Maybe just maybe I think I created less trash this day.

Tuesday(transportation): You all should be happy because this day i did not use any method of transportation that were not my two human legs. This day I walked to all my classes without using a car, bus, or anything that may harm our precious environment. I felt so proud of myself this day because it felt good being able to help out.

Wednesday(food): This day I can admit i ate like a pig. One thing is because me and my roommate ate a lot of junk food all day and we obviously did not do nothing productive this day. We just hanged out and watch T.V. while eating fatty foods. I can admit eating like this is fun but it comes at a price.

Thursday(Energy): Energy was a hard challenge for me because i use energy to do everything. I just can not live without energy. I fail again this day because I watched t.v., played video game, used the computer, and well washed my clothes which obviously wasted a bunch of electricity.

Friday(water): Water is what i always drink in my dorm nothing else so I kinda cheated like the past no impact days and well drank water that day. I also took a long relaxing shower because I needed one of those after a long stressing week from homework. Sorry but this day was pretty bad for me.

Saturday(giving back): The day of giving back i spent my whole day sleeping so I did not give up to no one. Maybe I gave back to the environment because i woke up at 7 P.M. and did not create trash. Almost the end of no impact week and i felt really useless because i was not able to do almost any good for our environment.

Sunday(eco-sabbath): I felt so proud of my self because this day for twelve hours I did not turn on the light at ALL. The reason for this is that me and my roommate slept for 12 hours straight and did not wake up after those twelve hours. I felt so proud of myself! Man twelve hours without turning the lights thats a new record. Thing is we went to sleep at 5 A.M. in the morining that day.
