Lots of news today!
First, I just signed up for a YouTube account, and once I figure out how to save the videos (vlogs) that I record, I will be posting stuff up! I’m very excited, and I think this will bring us more traffic! So once I get some things up, I’ll let you all know so you can go watch it!
Second, I am partaking in a social experiment so riveting that those with weak stomachs should go read my old Various Ramblings to calm themselves down. Actually, you should do that anyways, and the social experiment isn’t that crazy. I am going to see how long I can be a vegetarian, while also attempting to live green. Here are my rules:
-No meat. Dairy and eggs are ok, I’m not going for vegan, but no meat. No chicken, steak, beef, goat, dog, anything.
-5 minute showers. Because of my very thick hair I’m not sure how well I’m gonna be able to live with this, but we’ll see.
-I was gonna just ride the bus from now on, but then I realized that even the desicrating planet couldn’t force me to do that. I hate my school bus. Plus I have activities after school I need to get to. And my job on the weekends. Maybe one day a week I’ll ride the bus. (Shudder)
-Minimize energy use. Run my computer, MP3, and cell phone on battery as much as possible. Use natural light as much as possible, shower in the dark. And maybe (cringe) use such technologies like the computer less
-Air dry clothes, and wash them only when I absolutely need to.
-If I go out to eat, eat there to minimize waste from take out boxes and stuff.
-Track gas mileage; don’t accelerate so fast.
-Don’t waste so many notebooks; use every bit of paper I can before getting a new one.
-Try to cut out as many preservatives as possible from my diet
-Exercise without using energy, like doing weights and walking instead of Wii Fit and treadmill. (heh, or exercise at ALL)
So let’s see how long I can hold this up. Anyone got bets? A week? Two weeks? I don’t completely fail until I’ve only got two of the many rules left. So If I break all but two, I fail. Cheer me on! Try it yourself! GO HIPPIS!!!
