Hey

So here it goes. My very first blog. Lets see if this works. So we were assigned to write about how we have helped the environment, either by doing our everyday routines efficiently or by changing the way we do things to make them more efficient. I, personally, have changed a few things I used to do in the past inorder to conserve. One thing I did honestly change was the way I used the Climate control in my apartment or what we call our thermostat. In the summer I would leave the air conditioning on 24/7 and in the winter I would have the heat on while windows were open. I know, crazy right. Well, I know its going to sound selfish and irresponsible, but I don't pay for utilities. It is included in my rent. I know some of you initially hate me, first because I don't pay utilities and second because I was wasteful. I apologize. So in the past year I have learned to shut the air conditioning off when i'm not home, which is the majority of the day and second I make sure the windows are closed in the winter to keep the furnace from trying to keep up with heating my place up. Wow took a big step already I hope. Second I started to pay more attention to recycling. I used to just shove everything into a black bag and call it a day. Now I actually seperate the metal, cardboard, plastic and of course the bio-degradables. I honestly think thats a big step for me. And finally, I have made it a point to drive a 4 cylinder and drive it as least as possible to avoid overconsumption. Plus i love the idea of a car with an engine the third of some other cars and I'll get more into detail with that in my second blog , but i have a little engine that could and I modify it or soup it up to whip some of these guys' butts with the big muscle cars lol. Thats all for now.

Some of my concerns for the future are one that we are putting alot of stress on the earth for its natural resources and one day we will find ourselves stuck at a dead end not knowing what to do when we could have prevented something like that a long time ago or even now for the future.
