Wesley Johnson

this blog is for the weekend, Monday and today.
my commitments are to spend an extra half an hour outside every day, not use plastic bags, not use plastic bottles, and reuse paper. Also the class commitment is to not use any unnecessary lights.
so over the weekend i discovered a great way of spending time outside. after working out on Saturday i went to highland park and hiked up to Saterum's hedge. it was a gorgeous day and it was so refreshing and nice out in the woods and the view was spectacular. I decided that i really liked going there so after practice on Monday i went their again and just went hiking on one of the trails, it was great because it was such a hot day but it was nice an cool in the woods. so for future times i will come back here. Last time i was their i also discovered some trails that i hadn't hiked before so that will be fun. As for the class commitment to not use any lights i just keep forgetting. I don't think about it when i enter or leave a room, I need a constant reminder for it. My no plastic bags or bottles have gone really well. Over the weekend i didn't have any need for a plastic bottle, and at practice i don't need to bring my own water. so that has been pretty easy. the plastic bags have been the same story. However, i realized that i'm sort of cheating cause its really not a big change, i hardly ever use plastic bags anyway. also whenever i can i have been reusing pieces of paper although sometimes i do need a clean sheet and there inst anything i can do about that.
