How I Saved the Environment, or How I Killed the Planet (Today)

So I’ve been working hard to sace the environment the last few days.

I’ve been Watt-Watching like crazy: walking through the dorm where I am a dean and, turning off any lights that have been left on.

I’ve also been picking up trash around campus and instead of just throwing it away in nearby garbages, I’ve also been putting reclyclable material into my pockets so that I can place them into my recycle bins that I have made at home.

In the past, if I would have found someting like a pencil or a pen laying on the ground, I would have simply thrown it away. Lately, in my effort to save the environment, I have been saving them and adding them to my pen and pencil collection.

However, I have also been lazy in my efforts to save the environment.

I try to pick up every bit of trash thatr I find, so I am saving the environment- a little. But instead of trying to recycle it or put it to use, I have simply thrown it into a garbage where it will eventually end up in a landfill or burned in an incinerator.

So I’ve killed the planet, but I’ve also saved the environment. But due to my caution and our extreme lack of driving, I believe our saving the environment is far outweighing our killing the planet.
