Two weeks through of Earth Month and going pretty strong. My challenge this week was to carry a reusable water bottle or mug everywhere I went along with no meat on Fridays. It wasn’t too bad because I typically do this most days but it was especially helpful this week because I just started training and needed all the water I could get. I also made my own tea in a reusable mug and brought that to class instead of buying tea in a disposable mug. However, the no meat on Fridays was a little challenging because I did go out to eat with my friends at Panera Bread and they didn’t have many protein packed options other than the meals that included meat, everything else was mainly carbs. However, on campus there were lots of vegetable and grain options that helped get me through the day. I am nervous for week 4 because I am nervous to cut all dairy and meat out of my diet, I think I will have a nice group of people to give me advice and tips though. I wasn’t able to update my carbon and financial savings on the website provided but I calculated it on carbonfund.org. I saved around 51 lbs. of carbon this week. This is because I saved 5 lbs. for each water bottle I saved, one a day for 7 days and I also saved 8 lbs. for each vegetarian meal I had, which was twice. If I had to pick one thing to do differently I would say plan ahead so that it’s easier to pick vegetarian options.
