end of semester | end of project
this is a project i did for a class; to keep track of resources i used every day. over time, i began to notice certain patterns and behaviors. if i take a long shower one day, i tend to take a shorter shower the next. i have also started to look for "what has the least effect on the environment" whenever i need to get something disposable. if i need to grab food and run, it's better to grab a wax coated paper cup than a plastic bottle, for example. i have also noticed my roommates starting to recycle more, too. it is interesting to see how behaviors change when you realize just how much you consume.
