Journal Entry #4

After finishing my second week, I might say this was a really interesting experience. When I first started this I thought of myself as a ‘’green person’’ but when I started to collect my data I discover I wasn’t that ‘’green’’, maybe I’m not that bad but I knew I could do something and this challenge really helped me to improve and make a change in my life and in my way of thinking. The first big step was to know in what I need to improve the most and after analyzing I decided I had a problem with water, electricity and food. In one and a half weeks I changed my life a lot and it wasn’t that difficult. The right way of changing your life isn’t trying to make big changes, normally that way you don’t succeed. If you want to change start with small thing, big changes are made up of small ones. Things like turning off the lights or not use the AC, avoid using the dryer, taking short showers, closing every faucet in your house, and trying to eat healthier will not only change your habits, but it will also change your way of thinking, improve your health and make you waste less money. Now I know I wasted a lot of things I will need in a future, if I could change my life anyone can. Try to change your life, your community and your planet. Be greener.
