It is getting near the end of this project... but I mean who is counting right ;p ? Anyways it was game day last night and for the past few days I have had an unofficial tradition of hitting up fast food after hard worked 60 mins. The way I see it is that I earned a big greasy burger... and I mean is it really game day if you don’t hit up donnys (or in this case burger king) . So I did unfortunately break my commitment. So once again I am going to have to shorten my shower time- but in fairness I have been doing this project for longer then I was suppose to. Anyways as always my other two commitment have been going well no problems for them!

I know I'm late but I try to keep my goals because I think it was not that hard. Although yesterday I took a shower too long, so I have not taken a shower today ... If I continue to recycle my waste as possible and disconnect the devices I do not use.

So I guess this is the end of our no impact project 2k16! Its been a lot more fun and interesting then I thought it would be.. Ive learned a lot on this journey and it was a real eye opener! It was much more difficult at the beginning and was a definite getting used to.  Ill always keep in mind if I really need to take that 20 minute shower, or If i can carpool. Were very fortunate to live in a country where can receive fresh, locally grown foods. I will 100% take advantage of it in the summer when we have farmers markets open. So thank u miss. I for teaching me how to save our planet one step at a time💚 

Overall this no impact project wasn't as bad as i thought it would be. I believe that I did a fairly good job with it as towards the end I really started to reduce my car use and not drive unless it was necessary and started carpooling which was good for it. And unplugging electronics when I'm not using them is more of a habit now and I think it is something that I will continue to do. I did have a hard time with buying local foods as we do live in Canada and there is a thing called winter which doesn't really allow foods to grow. After this project I am starting to care more about our environment and help make it a cleaner place and am really starting to watch my carbon footprint.

It’s Friday and things are going pretty good for me! It is near the end of the project and i’ve gotten in a habit of successfully completing my commitments. But it always helps when my mom is turning off lights before I leave. As i’ve mentioned I am keeping my water bottle(s) in my car so I basically impossible for me to forget my water bottle. At the moment i’m cashless which in other words mean McDonalds should not be expecting Jake Fleming today ;). As for new newest commitment, the shorter showers. The less time in the shower is almost doing me some justice because I am getting to school two minutes earlier.

Throwing it back to last Thursday when the class went to chez farmer Dave. All in all it was a pretty dope felid trip... the lads got to see some cows and handle some chickens. But anyways on a more related note this felid trip ended up effecting my no impact project more then I figured it would. For example I was planning on hitting dons up after this trip but after seeing these cows up close and personal, I didn’t think I could stomach eating a big greasy burger- so therefore I didn’t hit up a drive through this day. Once I got home I decided I needed to take a shower (because I smelt like stanky chicken;0) but I had to take a shorter shower which was difficult for me to do especially because I was soooo cold. But I stayed true to my commitment and ended my shower 2 mins before normal (typically take 10 min showers). Anyways I also stayed true to my other two commitments, so I guess you could say that it was a pretty successful day for the dawg. 

On this last day i decided to do as many environmentally friendly things as possible i decided to walk to school and not use my car for the rest of the day this has become easier than i expected i also charged my phone around 7pm so it would it be charged fully by the time i went to bed. During these days i thought not using any extra energy was going to be difficult but it was completely opposite of what i thought it was going to be, having this experience has helped me realize how important the environment and our natural resources are in our community this changed my overall worldview on how we can change this planet

The no impact project is over. It was actually not very challenging. I think I did a good job overall. At the beginning of this project, I thought the shower limit was the hardest one but I felt “no shopping” is harder after three weeks. I already bought the things that were in my basket for last few days. Finally, I can use my body scrub today:) I think I will try to take a shorter shower after this project but I will not keep the time limit because it could make me feel nervous sometimes. In my opinion, more people will use public transit if it becomes more convenient.

Going back a week or so to my 4th blog post I mentioned that I was in a dilemma of sorts. I was in a moral battle of determining whether or not I was going to the KFC drive through or not- because I COULDN’T miss the value of toonie Tuesday. Anyways once I was dismissed from class the first thing I did was head over to the closest KFC. I then drove by the KFC and waited to make the decision if I was going in or not. I scouted out whether or not there was anyone was inside this KFC- which of course there appeared to be 4-5 teenage boys. I didn’t feel like going in a being judged by those kids so I opted to do option B… The drive through. Anyways I hit up this drive through only to find out that toonie Tuesday is no longer a thing!!! SO basically I broke my commitment for nothing :/ and I had to pay more than a toonie for my chicken. Anyways because I broke my commitment I will now start reducing my shower time by 2 minutes every shower. My other commitments are going well.  

It is blog post number 5. It has been a week since my last blog post- so there is a lot to inform my fellow bloggers about. As a result of not completing all my blog posts on time I am continuing my No impact project until i’m finished all my blogs. I will admit that it has gotten harder through in some ways but easier in other ways. What I mean by this is I am now in the habit of always bringing a water bottle to class and have gotten my mom in the habit of turning off all lights and unnecessary electric devices- basically when don’t really to turn on lights till it gets dark. The problem is still the drive throughs:/ and i’m predicting that this will continue until the project finishes. Anyways expect so more fire hot blogs coming this way very soon.
