Sunday Day 8: Eco-Sabbath

I have to say out of all the activities I have completed for this no impact experiment, today's challenge has truly been the hardest. This is mostly due to the fact that I am pretty much addicted to electronics, even as I am writing this blog entry, I am using the internet on my laptop to do so. Although it is nearly impossible for me to go 100% without electronics for the day, I did however, cut back on how much I would normally use. Today I did not watch the TV once, nor did I listen to the radio or my ipod. I also made sure that no lights were turned on during the day and at night time I double checked that when I left the room the lights were to be turned off as well. This is a large improvement for me because I am used to always being forgetful and having my life centered around electricity. Although I do not believe that I will ever live a life of truly no impact, I feel as though this experiment has been eye opening. This has opportunity to participate in this experience has allowed me to realize that my small changes are the ones that matter in life and if I just continue on this path great things could truly be the result.
