Day 8: Eco-Sabbath

Looking back at this week, I think that the hardest things for me to accomplished were eating no meat, trying to save energy, and worst of all, reducing my use of water. A good thing about weekends in general, specifically this last Sunday, is that I always wake up between 2:oo to 4:00 p.m. I know it is not a very productive thing to do, but I always try to rest the most I can on weekends. This last Sunday, I woke up and turned on my laptop to do homework. So, for the rest of the day I stayed at my room doing homework on my laptop, which means that on Sundays I just use energy to charge my laptop and go to eat at the school's cafeteria. I really enjoy doing this experiment, but honestly, I think I failed on most of it. From the No Impact experiment's guide, I definitely would to permanently adopt the walking as my transportation method, trying to consumpt less, reducing the amount of trash I produce, and the giving back, especially as both a citizen by taking care of my community, and as a college student by being respectful and helpful to other students.

    Hi Rebeca,
    Great comments. I'm glad you got something out of the experiment overall, even though it may not have been as successful as you hoped.

    I like your last comment especially. It's sometimes hard if you're surrounded by people who are self-absorbed and highly individualistic to be aware of giving back to the community and being respectful and helpful to others. An interesting thought!
