This past week I really have not done anything new to be more sustainable. I have pretty much just done the same things I have been doing. There is one thing that I did well, I have not drank anything but water, orange juice, fruit smoothie, or milk in this past week that means no soda. This past week had to have been the healthiest foods I ate. I had salad 4 days of the week and fruits and vegetables everyday this week. Also to go along with not eating any ice cream at the snack bar or at home. For dinner I had BBQ chicken and AHI two nights. On Friday my friends and I caught the bus all over the place to save gas and also because there was no one to drive us. Also on Saturday we carpooled from Punahou to my friends house and back. These two days we saved a lot of gas and I will try to catch the bus more to save gas and to not be an inconvenience to my parents. My showers this week were good because all of my showers were under 3 minutes. I calculated my shower and for every minute in the shower I am using up right around 6 liters, so my normal 8-minute shower uses up 48 liters and my new shower uses up 18 liters. If you do the math then I am saving 30 liters for every shower. The average person uses about 466 liters per day so if I showered for 3 minutes 12 times I would save enough water for an average person to use, an just imagine if everyone did this we would save an incredible amount of water.
Here is the link to the water usage page.
