- No fans, heat, a/c. Only use natural cooling and heating.
- Shorter showers for less water consumption.
- No paper napkins or paper towels.
- Hypermiling (slow acceleration, lower cruise speeds, overall trying to get better MPG).
- Limited lights. Natural lighting during the day. No unnecessary lights.
Yeah.....Wednesday....what?
I honestly can not remember much at all. Darn this is hard. I think I failed at the light challenge today. I left the lights on all night after I passed out. Well....thats not very environmentally friendly now is that? Hope this doesn't happen again.
Didn't take a shower today. I know right? Ewwww.
PAPER TOWEL! I don't even know where it is in my house. Well....that makes the challenge all that easier. As for napkins, a new substitute I feel most people already use: PANTS! Perfect location, discrete, and if you buy the new popular styles, the mess will blend in with all the crap already on them. (Fine. I'll get a washable napkin...)
I think the heat is off. Let me check...yep it's off. Well.... its chilly again. I need to plan this better. It's not horrible, but I could be feeling better.
Also, I've decided to start something for fun. The Environmental Fact O-Day (source will be posted at the end of the blog session):
"Americans spend, on average, 51 minutes a day commuting to and from work."
MEEP.
ReplyDeleteI find that pants are also a good solution to the paper towels in the bathroom, or the almost-useless hand dryers.
ReplyDeleteTrue.
ReplyDeleteActually, there was one hand dryer, worked amazingly.

Forgot to mention, but also the website states that "And because it uses up to 80% less energy than warm air hand dryers, it costs less to run and is better for the environment." YAY.
