Day 5 - As a student, using less electricity is difficult. Everyday I use my computer to do school work and I need to keep the lights on because it gets dark and I have no other light source in my room. Reducing my energy usage was probably the hardest day of the assignment. It was nearly impossible to do but I opted out of watching tv for the evening. There was no other way I could have completed this task.
Day 6 - I am already careful about my water usage. This is just something I was raised to watch. I take pretty quick showers and always turn off my water when I'm not using it. I did not have to change any of my habits in order to complete today's task.
Day 7 - I placed in the middle of the pyramid. Back home I used to volunteer on a weekly basis with a tutoring program. It was always my way of giving back. I really enjoyed it because it was extremely hands on. I think when you volunteer and it's hands on you get a much more fulfilling feeling.
Day 8 - Today I spent the majority of my day relaxing in my room. I spent time with friends and used very few electronics. I was able to enjoy just letting go for a little while. After watching my environmental footprint all week, it was nice being able to just let go. I spent a large amount of my week stressing and today allowed me to fully release.
