No Impact Experiment Day 1: Consumption

The topic for today's activity, consumption, is a topic that is constantly present in my life. Ever since I was a little girl I have always had a love for buying new items especially for clothing, shoes and accessories. After reading my challenge I am more aware of how bad it is to buy new items on a constant basis. I am very excited to say that I have not bought a single new item today. Shockingly, it was not that hard for me to not buy anything today. I have also made a list of the items that I think I "need" to have this week and after reviewing it I have come to the realization that I actually do not need anything on it besides new toiletries. Also, I have become more aware of separating my trash into different bins. I now have one trash bin in dorm room my for my normal trash and the another one for recycling. Overall this activity allows me more aware of decreasing the amount of products I consume.
