Not so serious with a dash of harsh reality

"What did you learn this week that surprised you?"
Fascinating information has reached my ears and has been filed within my brain. I learned that potato chips take more energy to fry than to deliver the potato's to the places for them to be fried...(it totally BLEW my mind no FRIED it.)
"What 'enduring understanding' will you walk away with?"
From all this if I were to remember anything which I don't know if I will, I would quite possibly recall that it is possible to feed three people for 1 week on a hundred dollars. (It only takes about 5 million hours to locate peanut butter and jelly in a grocery store.)
"What from this week would you like to share with others?"
I don't know, how much of this I would bring into my daily conversations, seeing as I usually use my time for conversation to angrily rant or talk about things that have no importance or substance. Although I did tell my mother that you can feed a family of three for $100 but she didn't think that it was true.
Now to talk about the lovely LOW (not no) impact challenge...
I still haven't came into any contact with Styrofoam containers, so I haven't been tempted to break and indulge in Styrofoam goodness as of late. My whole not using new plastic bags isn't going so hot, I basically haven't tried because I don't see how my using plastic bags is going to hurt me (also any reusable bags my family has look quite dorky). Recycling I still don't understand where things go, (confusing three bucket and bag system) so instead of throwing things away things I've used I have been leaving it for others to take care of. I have succeeded with not having my radio on 24/7 because I do not think I have even turned it on (it's not in my room and I'm not motivated enough to move it now that I have my lovely laptop because it can play music w/o commercials)
Reducing lights isn't going well. I basically realized I don't care. The only thing I see affected by turning them off is a lower bill but I don't mind because I don't have to pay the bills. The light in my room is basically on from the time I get home form school either until I wake up the next morning or If I'm really good it will be turned off once I decide to sleep. (I don't turn off the light in my room because it hurts to turn off the light and when I shut my door the light flashes) There are always lights on I'm my house, I believe everyone in my household must be considerate of each other and not turn off light (we want to save people the unneeded energy used up by flipping a switch.....store those calories now and we won't need as much heat in the winter.)
Personally I think the fact we have a dripping faucet on for SAMMY (the cat) is worse than my light being on throughout the night. The low impact light challenge at school is going fine (I haven't seen lights on in DIV III at all) but I think we're making up for it in our computer use to do this blogging (so I'm not sure how aware we are...but probably less than we want to be).
