Sunday:Eco-Sabbath

This week was really challenging for me. It began really easy with lowering consumption and then collecting trash, altering transportation, food, energy, water and then giving back.  It was easy to lower my consumption since I'm not much of a big spender and lowering the amount of trash was simple but as each day progressed I realized I would make more trash.  For instance, the first day I made no trash, then the next day 1 piece and then the second day 2 pieces and each day varied with the most amount of trash being four pieces.  Aside from this, for the list of the things I've been grateful for, I've actually been happy for the little slots of time I have had to spend with my family.  I was also grateful for doing well in my classes and was not grateful for any consumption goods because they aren't going to make me happy. However I learned a lot from this experiment and will keep some of the lessons that I learned.
