Since yesterday I haven't done any thing really note worthy. I haven't used any disposable bottles, I have recycled everything, I I haven't used any new paper, and I washed all my zip-lock bags and left them out for drying and re-using. I have been very good at turning off the lights, as always.
Separate from my actual goals, which wouldn't make for a very interesting post anyway, today in class there was a post that was pointed out by Mrs. Plath. It was about how this project is meaningless, lifeless, and a waste of time because it isn't doing anything.
Now, truthfully I don't actually enjoy blogging, and no offense to my wonderful teachers, but I do not like the assignments for this project. HOWEVER, the project its self is a wonderful idea.
Yes, there are only about 40 ( probably less) people doing it but it is a start.
What I don't think this person realized is that as much as this is school work, and school work is a drag, it is something else. We are deciding to start in a smaller part of our community to make little changes, take on a new habit. Such as turning off the lights we don't need.
I believe that even if we are not making a significant impact right off the bat, we are still starting to take a step toward it. Great things that changed views and were good were not always big and explosive moves. Some of the great things that happen or happened in our world started off as small things.
And worse case scenario- all this ended up being is a couple of weeks we did this. We don't span out and nobody joins, and yes we forget about ever doing it a week later. You know what?
WE DID SOMETHING FOR TWO WEEKS.Maybe it won't show in the big statistics and graphs , but WE know we did something. That yes however small our impact was, there was still an impact.
Hence "Low- impact"? Hello?
Any way, I know I for one, am definitely going to remember what I did for these two weeks.
I know that I will continue doing at least four out of all five of the goals that I and my division set for me.
And I hope the person finds some use in these last few weeks and in this project.
Until next time friends :)
Good luck! ^^
