the.second.week.

I still maintain everything that I was doing last week and I have done a little more. I turned up the temperature on the freezer because we didn't have meat in it anymore and I have unplugged more appliances. I just put a fan in my room and I have it on a timer so that when I fall asleep, it turns off. I unplug it in the morning when I leave for school. Also, I have an electric toothbrush and I unplug it when I don't charge it and I only charge it when I need to. I also decided to reduce my shower time and today, I took a ten minute shower instead of half an hour.

I rode my bike to see people the other day and I walked my dog on the golf course and although thats not traveling, its really fun to see all the golfers get their clubs in a bunch. I am not very successful in riding my bike and walking to places because I live in the boonies.

How.the.First.Week.Went.

All week, I have done a good job at maintaining all the ways I already save energy. I didn't do so well with trying the new ways of saving energy. I have been using http://www.saveswatts.com/ instead of google. I kept the brightness of my laptop as low as I could, but sometimes I needed to keep it brighter or else I couldn't see. I turned the temperature on my fridge up but not on the freezer because we had meat in it. I unplugged my hair straightener everyday but I forgot to unplug my phone charger. Since I live far away from pretty much everything, I can't ride my bike to much, but the other day I rode it to Salmon Falls and the ice cream store that is right next to it.
