During no impact week, my roommate and I bought some bread from the Farmers Market. It was DELICIOUS! It was so neat to see all of the different products and actually meet the people that make them. I think that If we had the market on campus more often, a lot of people would come on a regular basis.
I also hung my clothes up instead of using the dryer which was a quick and easy way to reduce my carbon footprint.
No Impact Man taught me to be more aware of the impact that I make on a daily basis. It never crossed my mind before how much trash I actually throw away. I also learned that its not only about reducing your negative impact, but also increasing your positive one by helping our the community. Another thing I learned is that how you impact the environment has a lot to do with where you live. Back home in Houston, there are not many places I can walk to, I have to drive. Also, recycling is not picked up all of the time which makes it difficult to store your recyclables.
