Reduction

I looked up the ingredients in different brands of conditioner and found three expensive brand has basically same ingredients as cheap brand so I spent less money on that.. I guess the difference was all in my head lol

Sustainability

I can definitely save money on hair products now, I haven’t got my hair done or nails done in a WHILE and I’ve learned I can save a lot just doing it myself. Keeping with the day time charging of electronics.

Following

People have made a big point to limit electricity and water usage. I think we’re doing good !

CONSUMPTION:

Food: 5 pastellitos, chicken alfredo, chips, 4 cupcakes.. will be eating cake shortly

Water: drank a cup of water and apple juice and a capris sun. shower around 8 minutes, flushed toilet washed hands. Brushed my teeth.

Gasoline: drive to school drive back to ashmont area, not too bad.

Electricity: this here computer, texting a bit, no tv and no pandora .

Money: bought a northface fleece… but it wasn’t that pricey because I fit children’s sizes :) no other money spent.

REDUCTION: I haven’t been spending too much money or electricity. I haven’t reduced my food consumptyion that much which is something to think about.

SUSTAINABILITY: charging my phone is officially a day time thing no more overnight charging !

FOlloWingggg : A lot of people have been taking shorter showers and limiting ipod and lap top use. LOVE taesha’s Spongebob pic… it’s deep.

CONSUMPTION:

WATER : ten minute shower,laundry, drinking water before bed.

FOOD : bagel with egg and cheese, blue bag doritos, raman noodles, pancakes.

ELECTRICITY: didn’t text too much, watched tv while doing laundry, lights in my house on most of the day . GASOLINE: ride to school about 20 mins, bus to mattapan.

MONEY: none.

REDUCTION: charging my phone early tonight so I don’t leave it charging whole night, less shower time, coincidentally used a cloth diaper on my baby cousin today while babysitting.. I imagine that counts as reduction even though it was a one day thing.

SUSTAINABILITY : can and will stop playing music all night and charging phone all night.

FOLLOWING : everybody is being so dedicated… Didn’t really think you guys were going to go so hard. Good job!

Consumption -

Water – 15 minutes in the shower, brushed my teeth, drank from BLS water fountain, washed my hands twice after High fiving every junior girl at powder puff game…

Food – No breakfast, school lunch, pancakes, grilled cheese sandwich… pinkberry.

Electricity – No texting for the majority of the day ! only computer usage is this right now, turned on quite a few lights when I got home because my house is terrifying when it’s empty and dark… but I turned them all right back off after I checked everything ( safety first )

Gasoline – Got a ride to school from mattapan, walked to ruggles on my way home, train ( if they use gas..) and bus.

$$Money$$ - No Money spent.

2. Reduction - I took a shorter shower, I walked to Ruggles instead of taking the bus, didn’t get my nails done, didn’t eat any type of meat, tried not to text as much.. and that’s about it.

3. Sustainability -

I can get used to taking shorter showers, it’s not that bad. I have stopped sleeping with my music playing the whole night, it uses a lot of energy and I can’t hear music in my sleep. My father has decided to turn the heat off at night… apparently you can’t feel cold in your sleep either. So that cuts back also.

4. Following - I learned that people have been cutting back on shower time more than anything else I noted.. I think that’s cool and I’m sure our parents appreciate it.
