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

The last few days I have been feeling a little under the weather so my attempts to save the environment have fallen short of my expectations due to subsequent laziness.

However, I have taken some steps that are hopefully improving my tiny corner of the environment.

I have been very dilligent in picking up trash around campus and recycling some of what I find.

My wife bought us some paper plates to use from time to time since we don’t have a dish washer. I informed her that doing so was enviromentally cautious and she agreed. So when I have been using them, I rinse them off and recycle them.

I have also done some things to kill the planet: mainly throwing some items that I find on the ground into the garbage- items like pop cans and paper.

Still due to our almost complete lack of driving and choosing to walk everywhere, I believe that we are saving the environment much more than we are killing our planet.
