This project was a lot harder then my family and I ever expected it to be. At first we thought it would be good and we would feel better about not wasting and not having as much trash. But after a couple of days we noticed that we couldn’t do a lot of things we normally do like wipe our hands on a napkin or use a straw to drink at a resturaunt. We as a whole had to make a lot of changes like making our foods the night before and bringing clean towels with us everywhere we went. This project has really made us open our eyes to see what we were actually doing to hurt our environment just by going through our daily routine. I think that even though we have finished our 10 days we will be conscience to what we are doing and try to hold back on all of the paper and plastic products. But even though we might be cutting back others might not be and I think a lot more people should realize how this is affecting our …show more content…

Toilet paper and school), taking shorter showers to conserve water, and using less electricity. If continuing with less paper products it would be helpful because you would save money on buying paper towels and you would potentially have less trash. On the downside you would not be able to eat out as much and in the beginning you would have to invest in a lot of tupperware. When you take shorter showers you be conserving water for the environment but you might have to take colder showers then you are used to. Lastly when you use less electricity your power bill will go way down but the downfall is that you might have to invest in some expensive light bulbs and have to remember to unplug things when they are not being used. All of these long term lifestyle changes are definitely going to need work and they might not be easy but in the long run they will help save the

After compiling all of the ingredients into a numbered list, I find out that every product “purchased” at Harris Teeter would account for $116.19 over the budget. The few adjustments I made to my shopping list beforehand did not help reduce the total to a reasonable price either. While I was going through all of the products at home, I crossed out a few unnecessary items that were optional or switched to products with a lower price just to see if I could be within the budget. Eventually, after I was done “shopping” and tallying up all of the prices, the cost still exceeded the price that I calculated in my head. As I went down the aisles searching for foods on my grocery list, I kept a close eye out for products that had nutritious labels such as organic, fresh, or low in sodium so that the college student I chose could receive the right amount of nutrients needed for a healthy lifestyle.

Part I Which of the concepts in these chapters was the most difficult for you? In 5-7 sentences, explain what you think you understand and ask 2-3 questions about things you know you don 't understand. Standard error of the mean I read the section on standard error of the mean (SEM) three times and unfortunately, this concept is difficult for me to understand. I do understand that the standard error of the mean is the standard deviation of a sampling distribution of means. I understand how to calculate the SEM (simply divide the standard deviation of the sample by the square root of the sample size minus one).

For this project, I decided to combine my love of drawing, baking, and nature in order to create a drawing representing my metaphorical journey. In this piece of artwork, The waterfall symbolizes my progress over the school year and how it has created multiple “rabbit holes” in which I have jumped in in order to get to where I am today. My journey, like when eating a cake, started out on the highest and smallest tier and ended at the largest tier on the bottom. Through this, you can see that as I went on my journey my horizons widen, there are more contributing factors to my life, and things get more complex, as well as a lot more interesting. Also, my development over the past school year is represented by the changing of the animal, as well as the habitat that is placed in on every tier as the journey progresses.

In the article, “Forget Shorter Showers” by Derrick Jensen, the author shows the reader how they are not truly saving the earth by showering less, producing less waste or by limiting use of power. In fact, Jensen is placing the blame more toward a political based problem and more on the elites of the world who tend to blame the individuals. Jensen’s article tends to lean more toward the anti-capitalistic view of capitalism causing the earth to crumble due to the government and the elites of the world. These facts are proven by Jensen’s research into the actual use of energy consumption showing that individuals tend to use only a fourth of it, leaving the rest to be wasted away by the big corporations. Jensen also furthers his argument by showing the amount of waste used by citizens.

Using less heat and air conditioning by a mere 2 degrees can save up to a substantial 2,000 pounds of carbon dioxide. Driving less leads to fewer fossil fuel emissions and every gallon of gasoline not burned saves 20 pounds of carbon dioxide.

It may seem absurd at first, but the idea of a “Buy Nothing Day” may be what society truly needs. The main focus of this day is to reduce the damage we put on the environment from pollution, overconsumption, and making wrong choices. The “Buy Nothing Day” should be in full effect and should be incorporated into every month for the sake of the environment, the people, and the world. Initially, many individuals may just ignore this movement, due to the fact that nothing can be purchased on this specific day; but if they were to give a chance to this movement, they could see that the benefits outweigh the negatives.

Introduction People tend to consume a lot, when there is consumption, there is waste – and that waste becomes a big problem that needs taken care of, which costs a lot of time, space and resources.
