1. Consumption

Water: Had some water for coffee in the hotel. Took a shower, brush teeth and two flushes. Some from a water fountain at drexel 

Food: Didn’t eat breakfast. Had lunch at e the college’s cafeteria, barbecue chicken, macaroni, green beans, pizza,fries and a meatball sandwich. After for dinner I had some shrimp scampi and a soda.

Gas: Had to drive like 30 minutes to the dog show, another 45 to the Drexel. THen drove back to the show and back to the hotel. Drove around a mall for a little bit.

Electricity: Used my ipod and phone and a little tv at the hotel. Didn’t have a computer, sooooooo

2. Reduction

Well on this trip, I wasnt given many places to reduce. I walked quite a bit, and tried to take a short shower. I reduced because I didn’t have a computer to use. We bought food at the grocery store, and brought it back to the hotel instead of always eating out, this was good. 

Although I didn’t get to reduce much, the college I went to had a lot of techniques for reducing such as a type of floor that filter fallen rainwater and collected it. They also had a 5 story wall, which was 5 stories of plants that grew straight up and without soil… i gotta picture

3. Sustainability

I didn’t have a time not watching tv very much or being able to use the computer, so I feel I can keep that up. I like walking so thats not a problem. Even traveling I cut down my electricity

4. Peers

Without a computer  I didn’t learn much from my peers, but at Drexel is one of the most eco-friendly universities so there was stuff to see there.

1. Sustainability

today was not at all a sustainable day. I didn’t have very many choices of what to do, and used way too much gas

1. Peer …

I didn’t read much stuff really, cause its annoying on my phone. From the stuff I did read, It seems people are really trying to cut down on their water usage and take shorter showers. I think this is a good idea, cause if everybodyy smells like crap, does anybody smell bad?

3. Sustainability - Are there any changes that you made to your daily routine that you could envision making for the long term? Can you reduce your consumption permanently? Why or why not? Please be specific, and provide examples.

I cannot stop drinking water, sorry. But for like the third time Ill talk about cutting down on electricity. I also think I can spend less money

4. Peers - What did you learn from following the tumblr feed of your peers? Did one person’s actions resonate with you in a positive way? Will you adjust your own actions as a result of their post?

I feel like everybody is cutting down on water, which is good. Also I everybody is talking about their camel backs and half camel backs… maybe Ill get one too

2. Reduction - In what areas of your current lifestyle did you try to scale back the use of specific resources?

I tried to  not spend any of my money today, almost successsful. Today I was really able to cut down on my cell phone usage, partially due to the fact it got taken away during the day. Then I got it back at 3:15 with a side of detention…. doing a lil more hunting too.

3.  Sustainability - Are there any changes that you made to your daily routine that you could envision making for the long term?  Can you reduce your consumption permanently?  Why or why not? Please be specific, and provide examples

I think I can spend less money permanently, because all the things I spend it on are kind of unesscessary. I’ve also been doing a fairly good job cutting down my phone usage and remembering to keep lights off when they’re not needed.

4.  Following - What did you learn from following the tumblr feed of your peers?  Did one person’s actions resonate with you in a positive way?  Will you adjust your own actions because of this?

From looking at the tumblrs of my peers,  I see that a lot of people are posting about cutting down on facebook. I think cutting down on social media is a good idea, because a good amount of time I’m trying to do hw at the same time.

1.  Consumption - What did you consume today?

Water- I took two really short showers today. I had coffee made at my house.

Food: I didn’t have any breakfast. Had a normal lunch, Buff chick sub, chips, lemonade. After school I had another Buff chick sub but this one wasn’t home made, then I had an apple & peanut butter and a soda.

Electricity: I used electricity to charge my phone this morning, and now I have some lights on and the computer. I didnt use my phone to much during the day.

Gasoline: I got a ride to school, then took the comuter rail home. Then I got picked up and went to dedham, then english high then home. 

Money: I spent like 3 dollars today, but I got a free sub so thats like -$6.00.

2. Reduction - In what areas of your current lifestyle did you try to scale back the use of specific resources?

Today I didn’t use to much electricity again, only for the necessitates, I count my phone and music a necessity. I took more showers today, but I think they were as long as yesterday. I don’t plan to take that many showers everyday.

3.  Sustainability - Are there any changes that you made to your daily routine that you could envision making for the long term?  Can you reduce your consumption permanently?  Why or why not? Please be specific, and provide examples.

I got some free food, I could definitely make that part of my daily routine. I reduced my electricity usage again today. I feel I can sustain this, because the past two days havent been to hard. I tried to keep the lights off as much as possible. I don’t feel like I would cut down on the gasoline, because usually I just go for a ride, instead of going some where because I need to.
