Last week! (a little late)

Sorry this is coming late but I drove home Monday night passed out and forgot about school.

But now I have remembered now that I have preached sustainability and being environmentally friendly to the entire family all day today. The last week of the project came more natural to me than the previous weeks even though it was for a longer time I found it easier to be responsible and be more sustainable. As far as energy usage was concerned I lived in the dark for most of the four days I worked on the project. Unless I was doing homework I didn't use the computer, and invented ways to get light. Like carpooling you can share stuff like light, I went to my friends room or the common room when I needed to do something. As far as water consumption is concerned my quick showers are pretty much habit and I still reuse a water bottle. I have made sure to minimize my waste in every way possible from snacking less, to reusing everything I could. It was nice to sit back and talk to the family about my classes and I enjoyed telling them what a big difference awareness could make.

In the end after the project has ended I think I will continue the project in my life. Just the fact that I CAN make a noticable difference through simple actions has somewhat inspired me to do my part. In the beginning we talked about the deffinition of sustainability, and after working and thinking about my project I would have to say Sustainability is the awareness of our actions, the reduction of the impact that we have 0n the environment that we occupy, and the education of others around us toward that goal.
