Eco-Chic Lifestyle Change Week 3: Weekly Update

My SMART goal is to use my reusable bags every time I go to the grocery store, Target, Walmart, etc. I'm still in the same position as last week, because I still haven't gone to any stores, but I know I will be in the next few days so this is a great reminder! 

I mentioned this in class already but I have started to become a lot more cognizant of living environmentally friendly. Some examples would be turning off my TV instead of putting it on mute when I'm reading something in my room, turning off my light when I leave my room, not filling up my water bottle right before I go to bed at night since would dump it in the morning, and unplugging any electronics I'm not using. It's hard to transition from living how I used to be to being more aware of how I could be environmentally friendly, but I'm getting there. I know my next step will to be to try and rub off on my roommate so that we both are on the same page, but I want to make sure I can set a good example first.

I feel proud when I remember to do these things I just mentioned because I know I'm helping the environment. I get mad at myself when I don't which is a good self-discipline action to use.

I learned that everyone in class is becoming more environmentally friendly every day like I am. It doesn't always have to be a big action like going out and cleaning up the trash in a park, but the little actions help too. 

As for next week, I plan on continuing what I'm doing, and hopefully will get to some store so I can use my bag and set an example!
