Day 3 Try Harder Tuesday
Consumption- 10 minute shower in the morning. brushed my teeth, washed my hands and flushed the toilet a few times. No breakfeast, for lunch i had a turkey sandwich with some fruit and chips, I drank two bottles of water and 3 glasses of milk through the day. For dinner I had spaghetti and meat sauce.
Reduction- I didn’t use my phone again today and hardly listened to my ipod. I used the computer for homework and to type this amazingly interesting blog post that I’m sure all of my classmates will read. I used the T all day and only watched TV for about an hour. I only use technology like ovens and dishwashers when I’m at work, gots to get paid son. I spent 10 bucks today, other than that I’m all third world.
Sustainability: Considering I havent had to make drastic changes to ensure low consumption in my lifethis is pretty sustainable. I wouldn’t mind some more TV and food but that’s about it.
4: From reading other posts it seems I can be a little more detailed in my posts
No Money Monday
Consumption: I took a quick shower. No breakfeast. I had a bannana,apple, and a sandwich for lunch. I ate an italian sub for dinner. I took public transportation to school and work and back to my house.
Reduction: I spent no money, I didn’t use my cell phone all day and only used technology when typing this blog. I didn’t eat in between meals or even watch television
Sustainability: I’ve never been one for technology, I could cut down on the amount of garbage i produce by re-using the same plastic cup instead of using a new one for a new drink. I can sustain my reduced use of cars and technology but it would be hard to continue spending no money whatsoever.
Ideas from others: I haven’t really taken any ideas from my fellow students because this is an independent assignment and I’m assessing it as that.
Day One
Reduction: I took a ten minute shower. I hardly used my phone or television. The only time I used the computer was to get on tumblr( this site sucks by the way..every time I log on my computer freezes.)
Consumption: I ate eggs bacon and home fries for breakfeast, skipped lunch and had two turkey sandwitches for dinner. I had jello and ice cream for desert. I rode in a car twice today for a grand total of 30 minutes. I also charged my phone and ipod
Sustainability: I could go quite a while without riding in cars, I like to walk and take the T. I already wish I didn’t have a phone so people would leave me the hell alone, and I don’t watch much tv to begin with because it’s all advertising and crap on the boob tube. I do like long showers and a lot of food, that’s the only challenge I face. As to the computer, I try to avoid using it as much as possible, so ship my ass to Africa already.
