Well, it has been a week since I calculated my Eco footprint,
and I have to say, it’s harder to stick to some of these goals than I had
thought. My first action was to purchase more organic foods, starting with
organic produce. I hadn’t quantified this goal in my first post, so I’ll do it
here: I will try to buy organic produce for 3 meals a week. I have not stuck to
my goal this week as my husband did the grocery shopping and didn’t purchase
any organic produce.
My next goal was to switch off my computer’s power strip two
nights a week. I have done this one night this week, but mostly haven’t been
able to simply because I have been on the computer all night long! For 3 nights
this week, I have been up until 5 or 6 in the morning doing homework, and in my
tired state, I’ve been forgetting to change my habits. :/
My last goal has been easier to stick to. I chose to eat a
meal without meat at least once a week, and found that I did this twice this
week, once eating a pb&j, and once eating chips and salsa (both were for
lunch). I figured that I might be able to challenge myself to eating a meatless
meal 2x per week next time.
It hasn’t been very easy to change long-standing habits, but
then again, nothing that’s worthwhile is ever easy.
