Matt B - Day 1

For my low impact challenge I chose to:
  • walk home instead of taking the bus
  • turn off the lights when not needed
  • recycle more items that I would normally throw away
  • and take a shorter shower by 10 minutes (I normally take a 15 min shower daily)
Yesterday, the first day of the project, I managed to remember to turn off the lights and open the shades after school. For some reason I have usually gone home and turned on all the lights while keeping the shades shut. Sunlight gave me the same effect. I forgot to take a shorter shower this morning. I haven't talked to my family about this project yet, and I plan to include them eventually. Usually I stay after school to get work done and I don't have a chance to take the bus. On Wednesdays I usually take the bus, so I will try to remember to walk.
