Final Blog!

So this crazy summative has finally come to an end. I've definitely had a lot of fun doing it, even though it was pretty tempting to just ditch it all and go to McDonalds. But I'm glad I stuck to my word, and got through it without cheating by choice. I definitely thought it was going to be easier though, I'm not going to lie. I've gotten so sick of eating sandwiches and salads and basically almost all food brought from home. So many times I wanted to have a sub, or a burger from mcdonalds, or even a slush puppy on the days where its 25+!!! I've never had to resist myself so badly, like I had to avoid the food court on my way to work completely so I wouldn't be tempted by all the signs and by the smell of all the yummy food that was waiting for me! It was definitely worth the challenge though, it made me very proud of myself that I could commit to something and carry it out for almost a whole month. Never would I though I could give up McDonalds for that long either... At some point tomorrow I'm DEFIANTLY going to McD's and ordering a huge fry with a double cheeseburger! No way could I have done what Colin Beavan, the "No Impact Man" did. Eating all organic food for a whole year would kill me. No matter how many times someone says it's bad for me, and that's its not good for the environment either I just can't let go of my fast food. It's so much more convenient before work, and it's so much yummier at lunch time. What I am going to take on with me after this summative is that I'm going to definitely keep using my reusable water bottle everyday, and I'm going to try to pack myself a lunch at least 3 times a week. It's not a huge thing, but it is more than I was doing before therefore it is reducing my carbon footprint. I'm going to try to keep doing stuff around the house like turn off the lights, not use as much air conditioning, and I'm going to try to bike to school during exams but I don't know how long that will last especially with the weather now and days. I'm really trying to be more eco-friendly, and trying to reduce my carbon footstep. I'll never be able to pull of something like Colin Beaven did, like I said before, because some of the things he did were a little bit extreme. I'm not going to stop wearing makeup, or trade my clothes for all hemp clothing, or give up my my electricity, nor will I give up my fridge.. He tried to make a point, and that's what we're trying to do as well but I believe going as far as Colin Beaven did is a little bit too extreme.
