week 3 of lifestyles project

The third week of the lifestyles project was more successful than I was expecting. I have found myself being extremely more conscious of my actions and I think that is precisely what this project was intended to do. I think that this will help me in the future also because even when the project is not going on,  all the information I have learned about sustainability and sustainable actions have really opened my eyes to all the simple things that I can do to save just a little bit of energy or water. I am going to try to only eat meat a couple times a week and eat much more fruits and vegetables. Also, I am going to encourage my family back at home to shop locally and to also check out the farmer's market sometime soon. For the simple logistics of the week- I was actually successful in my attempt to be vegetarian for 4 days, I really cut down my showers (they were all mostly around 5 minutes), and I didn't drive except when I went to work.
