The 5min showers have become very easy to master since I never have time anyways ;P

Didn't use any staws today... But I did use a plastic forks :( I forgot my lunch this morning so had to buy a lunch at the university center. 

I came across this question a couple weeks back and I wish I hadn't (ignorance is bliss? lol) Not having coffee period would be the most sustainable choice, but for now we can start small and ask for it with non-dairy milk and in your own container. The Earth will appreciate it a latte. (honestly I'm just here to make myself feel better and laugh)

It wasn't until the end of last year that trash became an overwhelming thought in my head. I asked my family to keep their cardboard, paper, and plastic for a couple of weeks until I came home. We then drove for 10 minutes and were able to recycle 60lbs of different materials. (and we got a couple dollars out of it!) This is the picture of Brownsville Scrap Paper. Looking at it is so reminiscent of the movie Wall-E. Most of us watched that movie, contemplated it for a second, and moved on. We were little, but we should know better now.

It's easy to do the Power Down challenge now that everything in my room is on a power strip. But I did forget to turn it off on weekends.

The challenge has made me realize many things I wasn't aware of before, and it encourages me to do stuff I could've done before to reduce waste, save water, eat healthier, etc. It is pretty simple, I feel people just have to get a little help from a challenge like this to start doing what could do a big difference
