Technology Thursday
1. Consumption:
water- bottle of water, cup of coffee, brushed teeth, flushed toilets and washed hands
food- breakfast sangy, turkey sangy, chicken noodle soup
electricity- computer strictly for tumblr
gas- drove to and from school
money- none
2. Reduction
I used no technology today other than to make this post which is a huge change from my typical technology usage.
3. Sustainability-
realistically I don’t think I could continue to not use technology, particularly social networking but the shorter shower is more than reasonable.
Waterless Wednesday
Consumption:
water- bottle of water, cup of coffee, 8 min shower, brushed my teeth twice, washed hands and flushed toilets
food- breakfast snagy, turkey sangy, mashed potatoes, corn, roasted chicken
electricity-phone,lights,computer
gas-drove to and from school

Try Harder Tuesday

water- brushed teeth twice, 10 min shower, bottle of water, cup of coffee, washed hands and flushed toilets
food- breakfast sangy, turkey sangy, breaded chicken, rice and corn
electricity- charged phone, lights, computer

2. Reduction:
I continued to take the shorter shower even though I’d prefer a longer one and didn’t watch any television.
3. Sustainability:
Not watching TV helped save energy but spending money on gas did hurt. I could try taking the T to school rather thand driving or even be ambitious and attempt to ride my bike.
