Journal Entry #3- Changes in my lifestyle (second round)

Air Conditioner

Well, I must say that I like this project and taking care of the planet. I kept my first changes for the last week to this one. In some areas was a little bit harder to accomplish them but I try my best. I enjoy it, even though I look like a crazy turning off the unneeded lights every time.  But the most complicating thing and unavoidable for this week was not having your Air Conditioner on! I mean this week was the hottest one.  So, in the afternoon we turn on the AC for two hours but not all of them just in my mom’s room; at least we try to save energy by not having fans and the AC from others rooms. Well, this doesn’t happen every day but besides having the AC on, I took three showers every day. I try to measure time and not been in the shower or having the faucet open avoiding waste of water. Computer was the primary thing as for the first and this week. I use my computer because I have so many things to do, like investigations, checking my hotmail, editing videos, and the funniest thing is that all are regarding about earth day project; but I’m trying my best by using my time wisely.

House-Bathroom lights

 I reused paper again. In my school they tend to send notes so, what I do is when I have to print images and cutting them I use these notes since not all the paper is cover with information and is reusable. Mom is helping by reusing the plastic bottle she bought on Sunday. She fills the bottle with water again. I’m trying to teach my little sister to turn off the bathrooms light, which is her big challenge.  About the unneeded lights in the bathrooms I’m helping school too. When I go to the bathroom in my school I try to turn them off when I go out, because every single time I go they are on.  As I said before I like this project it makes you feel a green person and it was good having this kind of project and sharing with people the important of every sources we use.
