Semana Dos

Week 2 was a success. With little trouble I've been able to keep the air off, eat the tiniest amount of meat and refrain from driving. One reason I haven't noticed myself wanting to change the way I've been performing these tasks is partly due to the busyness of school. I guess with my mind being elsewhere, I have been living more sustainable (weird, I know). Another likely possibility is that before I consume items like water, food, groceries, etc. I've been more and more mindful of the origin of these items. This has really helped reduce any resistance to becoming more sustainable. Also, watching King Corn last week was a shot of reality. I had no idea that the majority of corn grown in the U.S. can't be eaten off the cob and that the corn is purely grown to be processed. wow

King Corn really bothered me too. It was shocking to me that most corn isn't edible. I was even more bothered by the fact that a lot of fast food meat is primarily corn. It kind of makes you step back and really think twice about eating out...
