So far this week we have been dong pretty good because I have cut down on my showers from 8 minutes to 3 minutes. I have not measure how much water I am exactly saving but I know that I am saving quite a bit, this weekend I plan to calculate how much water I am exactly saving. I have not got my parents to jump on the bandwagon to take shorter showers but I think my dad will decide to so we will save double the water. Also this week I have not washed any of my clothes yet so I don’t have any half loads and waste water, I plan to wash my clothes on the weekend in a full load. We also have not washed any half loads of dished, all full loads. This week we used are hard plates and cups not paper plates and plastic cups, this way we can save a lot of tree's and money.
On Sunday we were at the market and we purchased organic smoothies from times, even though they cost quite a bit of money we are willing to spend it if it is healthy and organic. We also bought organic soymilk and fresh fruits to eat during the week. My Mom has been buying this salad and sushi combo from her cafeteria at work, which is made by the cafeteria so it has to be fresh, and it is good. I have not bought any new organic clothes yet because I have not seen any but I will look for some if it is cheap enough.
This week we did take one car two days this week that cuts down our oil consumption and traffic by half. If we can continue this or take one care more often we can save a lot of money and the environment.

i think its really good that you are cutting down your shower time to 3 minutes. i think the most important one was only driving one car because that pollutes our earth the most. i wanted to know, is buying organic food that much better? like do the places still use some other types of fertilizer or something that we just haven't found out is bad yet?
