1. Consumption
Food: I ate a sandwhich for breakfast with orange juice. For lunch I had another sandwhich, a yogurt, and a granola bar and a bottle of water. Then when I got home from school I had a hamburger with fries and for dinner I had rice beans and chicken. I had dinner twice!!
Water: As soon as I woke up I had a glass of water, and then I had a bottle of water for lunch. I also had water twice for dinner. I also showered only twice today!
Electricity: I turned on my computer just to do this post for about a half hour.
Gasoline: I drove a lot today because I had errands to run, even though they were all around my house. I wasted almost a quarter of a tank.
Money: I know we were supposed to save money today but I spent the most money today because I forgot my student bus pass at home so I had to keep putting money on a charlie card. I also bought a bottle of water in scool. I also had to renew my passport so I spent quite a lot of money today.
2. Reduction
I was really hoping not to spend too much money today but leaving my bus pass at home didnt really help. I scaled back on the amount of time I showered today. I showered for only 6 minutes versus the 15 I usually spend.
3. Sustainability
Today I spent more money than I usually do because I forgot my bus pass at home and because I had to renew my passport. This is something that I definitely wont have to do again for a long time, and I also never forget my bus pass at home.
4. I learned that being realistic about things, you cant really scale back on the money because some days you will spend more money than others, and there will be some days when you wont spend any money at all. This all depends what the day brings to do. Also, I learned that people are really trying to cut back on some of their unconscious consumptions that are ruining the environment.
