Today we did not have class but I remember the assignment was to discuss what we participated in for No Impact Week and Three things we took from the "No Impact Man" Book.

-I participated in the Farmers Market which I absolutely loved but wish was bigger. I bought some sausage which was delicious. I think I just love natural produced foods because I'm a big organic eater and so it was perfect for me. Not to mention how tempted I was by the natural honey. yum yum. It all always looks so good. I really look up to the people who put so much time and effort into a business that is very risk-ay but you can tell they do it because they love it. I just like the local atmosphere of it all which makes things more trustworthy.

-Three things from the book I used were recycling, Being fuel efficient, and electricity. I've always be conscious disposer and therefore have recycled for the longest time. But now that more people know about it it makes me want to crack down on myself even more. Although I can't say the same for gasoline, I don't use it near as much thanks to the University and the location as resident overall. Being between to major cities really helps. Electricity is my weakness. I always forget to turn lights off because well I don't like walking around in the dark. lol but I think my recycling and the amount of water I save makes up for my weak areas. Its really hard this century so I'm grateful for just the small amount I remember to save.
