this past week, working on food, energy/water and trying to start a recycling program at work, has been tough. my very first day going vegetarian was a bust. i was doing fine through breakfast and all morning until i went to grab some lunch really fast in the commons. i walk in and ella exclaims "it's chicken fried steak day! yeyah! they kept it a secret, but today's the day!" after this, who isn't excited about chicken fried steak? alas, after finishing 2/3, i cursed (quite loudly) while remembering i was supposed to not eat meat all day. i was pretty crushed because i had convinced myself how easy it would be since i don't eat meat that often anyway. the energy/water went well both days cutting down my shower to 6 minutes (i'm shooting for two by the end of the project, without compromising good hygiene, of course).
the only other frustration i had this past week is trying to track down the office manager to begin discussing the recycling project and its implementation. maybe i'll have better luck this coming week...
