This week, we did an alright job on what I had planned to do, but I am going to honestly say, we did not successfully complete all of these things. The things that we successfully completed were making sure the lights are off when leaving the room. Also, I made sure that I hit print preview all week. Every time we went to the grocery store, we used our reusable bags. The reason why it was easy to make sure the lights are off is because t is pretty easy to just flick a switch. The reason why it is easy to hint print preview is because I have to do it anyway or my computer wont print it. lol. It is also easy to always use the reusable bag because we put them in the truck right after we are done unloading. We did not turn our refrigerator temperature up is because we had meats in them. We did not dry and reuse or towels because we didn't really do it, but my dad did. We did not collect the rain water from the gutters because my dad did not have time to set it up before it rained. We did not recycle as much as possible because I forgot to tell my family about it. We definitely failed the going to the grocery store only once a week, because we had a cook out, and all that good stuff and we forgot some stuff. My list of things is below
My family is going to reduce our energy usage over the next to weeks in 5+ ways. We are going to do that by doing things like:
- Making sure that lights are off when we leave the room.√
- Making our refrigerator 38˚ instead of 35˚.
- Dry bath towels and reuse them.
- Use shopping tote bags at ALL times at the grocery store.√
- Collect rain water from gutters to water flowers/ gardens.
- Recycle as much as possible.
- Go to the grocery store once a week instead of multiple.
- Make sure to hit print preview.√
