This blog post will most likely make me feel bad about my un-resourceful habits.
In a typical day, I:
1. Shower for 10 minutes: 5 gallons per minute
2. Eat a granola bar, 1 wrapper of trash
3. Drink two bottles (soda, vitamin water, milk)
4. Eat variety of snacks with plastic
5. Drink lotssss of coffee
6. Run the sink for dishes for 10 minutes a day
7. Wash my face, brush my teeth, another 5 minutes of water time.
8. I don't even want to imagine how much electricity is used
9. Throw away at least a couple papers
In a year, that is over 20,000 gallons of water, 365 wrappers of track, 700 gum wrappers, 700 plastic bottles, lots of electricity, 1000 pieces of paper trashed, and too much coffee to count (including plastic spoons, sugar packets, etc) that I would be using.
How much do I recycle?
None.
Granted, in college there are not many opportunities to recycle, but that could be potentially something we need to work on.
