I was shocked when I found out that I take up two and a half planets. I didnt think that I was wasting so many resources. I ride my bike everywhere, I eat at andros, I don't buy new clothes, I live in a dorm, and I don't even fly anywhere. There are some things that I could do to change how big my footprint is. I realized that I do leave the lights on a lot when I dont even need them. I also sleep with the TV on. So changing those habits were not as tough as others. I tried to remember to recylce any plastic bottle that threw away that day. I don't eat that much meat in the first place, but I didn't have any. I made sure I rode my bike everywhere, and I took a quick shower. When I did laundry I used cool water. I asked my parents if they would consider getting solar panels for the house and, that didn't go over so well. But I tried to do better and when I took the test again, it didn't make much of a difference.

End.

I can't believe that I went a whole day without technology. No phone, no TV, no computer, no ipod, no radio, no video games, and I didn't even used a microwave. I didn't realize how hard it was going to be to do this. On a normal day, I wake up turn on my computer and check my Facebook, and my email. Then I turn on my TV and just channel surf until I'm bored. After I get dressed and brush my teeth, I'll call a friend on my phone to see if he or she wants to go eat. I'll put on my backpack and lock up my dorm. As I walk to class or to eat, I listen to my ipod while I walk. When I'm done with class I usually call my mom or dad on the phone, mostly because I'm bored. When I get back to my room I usually check my email and facebook while the TV is on. Then I'll play video games in my room or a friends room. I usually end up talking on the phone with a friend about going to play some basketball in the gym or go workout. Then if I'm hungry I would pop some popcorn in the microwave. My day would end with me falling asleep to my TV on a low volume. Not this day; on this day, I woke up and just sat there for a second sitting up on my bed looking confused. So, I just got up and washed my face and brushed my teeth. I got dressed and went to go eat by myself. My pockets felt empty without a cellphone and my ipod in them. I ended up sleeping more on that day because I had nothing to occupy my time. I went for a run, without an ipod of course. I got more homework done because I had no distractions. I also ended up going to bed early because I usually watch TV until the late hours of the night. It was a pretty crazy day, but I do realize now how dependent we are on technology.
