no impact week

an effort to significantly minimize my ecological footprint. October 18th - October 25th.


minimized resource use (throughout the project):

  • I used 0 plastic non-reusable water bottles this week. 
  • cut down on plastic waste by an increased use of Tupperware. 
  • cut down on “ghost electricity” by constantly unplugging small appliances that aren’t in use. 
  • conserved paper by printing double-sided and in smaller fonts. and by using junk mail and scrap pieces of paper instead of post-it notes. 
  • spent no money on halloween decorations by making my own! 
  • helped out the rainforest and the local economy in Paraguay, Argentina by drinking Fair Trade tea! 
  • rode a bike instead of a car on several occasions!
