Walking Lightly



       Humans don't appreciate the planet we live on. Well at least it was proven to me that I sure don't. I took an ecological footprint test and I realized that the way I was living wasn't too healthy. Not only was I possibly hurting my budget, but my planet too. The living habits we the people have nowadays is entirely too spoiled and what we don't understand is that we don't know for how much longer we're going to have this wonderful natural resource filled planet at our dispense. In this blog, I'm going to be giving you an inside look at my steps toward change. I know that just by me changing my habits I wont be able to save the planet on my own, but I might be able to inspire many others into changing their lifestyle and possibly causing a domino effect towards a better planet. 

DAY 1: This morning I found myself re-using a plastic bottle I had in my house from yesterday. Simple recycling just so I wouldn't purchase another one from the store. I plan on doing this for however long I can go. The less plastic thrown away the better. Why buy something I have at home and can just keep refilling and keep using?
DAY 2: Today instead of eating fast food, I'll be eating fruits and organic foods. Also I stopped plugging in my devices to use less energy. Being on them less, means I wont have to be charging them as much and like this I'll help save energy. This morning, I took a shorter shower, and made sure to cut the water from running while I brushed my teeth. I used to let it run while I brushed but that's a lot of water that's not being used.
