Blog # 5

After doing the experiment and doing some research I now have to see where in my life can I either "go green" or "low impact". One thing that I know that I can improve on is stop buying water bottles and other beverages in plastic bottles. Instead I can do what Dr.Smith is doing and buy one bottle either glass or a hard plastic and keep refilling it with drinks. Another thing that I can do, as I'm sure I've mentioned in my previous blogs, is not buy items that are not recyclable. I hate repeating myself but, buying bio degradable products is something that I can try and do a lot more of. I'm going to try and this is a big TRY but I'm going to try and not use paper towels. It doesn't help that my mother just bought a pack of fifteen or so bounty paper towels. Another thing is not using or buying plastic forks and spoons. Which I had no idea about but that's a big thanks to http://notoriousrambo.blogspot.com/ for informing me of that. Of course I plan on doing everything that I have been doing but, taking it further and really expanding on it.

My "go green" and "low impact" list

• Buy a glass or hard plastic bottle for drinks
• Not using paper towels (that will be the hardest for me to do)
• Buy more bio biodegradable products
• Try to buy environment friendly household cleaners
• Use less hot water
• Turn off unnecessary electric appliances
• Use less paper
• Use recyclable paper
