No Impact Man Experiment: Day 5

Thursday: Energy

Without a doubt, today’s challenge has been the most difficult of all thus far to adhere to. Immediately upon waking up this morning, I walked to the bathroom and turned on the lights, only to realize I had to turn them off again. This was when I thought to myself, “This is going to be rough.” So after using the restroom in the dark, I opened the window in my dorm room and proceeded to get ready for my dance classes. The fact that I had two dance classes this morning made it relatively easy to avoid using energy for the first half of my day; however, the lights were on in the studio for both classes. I walked back to my room after these two classes and got ready for my FFC class! It was quite bright out this afternoon so I had no problem avoiding the use of artificial light in my dorm room. Energy was used in the classroom, but that was not necessarily under my control. I am using my laptop currently to write this blog post and am also going to use it to write an introductory paragraph for another class. I am also going to need to use a printer to print out the introductory paragraph; however, after that I am going to avoid energy use for the rest of the day! Although it was difficult to avoid the use of energy today, I do think it could have been worse. We’ll see how the next four days go!
