2. My Ag e nda
Morning
It was a typical morning. I woke up,showered
brushed my teeth,showered, used hair spray and
flat ironed my hair spray. I then drove my self to
school and on the way I stopped and picked up
something to eat.
3. Morning Alternatives
Instead of driving to school and polluting air with car exhaust and
burning fossil fuels releasing carbon dioxide (CO2) into the air I
will walk to school.
Instead of using the hairspray that has CFCS
(chlorofluorocarbons) that ruins the ozone, I can wear my hair
natural without any chemicals damaging the environment or my
hair.
Instead of going out to buy breakfast I can make it at home. Doing
this will reduce the toxins going into the air from how the plastic
container for my food was made. It will also decrease the
smoke in the from factories in the process of making this
container.
4. Midday
Today was a half day so I walked home. When I
got there I was hot and sweaty so I quickly
turned on the air conditioner so I could cool
myself off. After I rested I went in the
refrigerator and I got a prepackaged salad with
chicken that I bought and I ate that for lunch.
As I threw my food away I noticed that there
was gnats flying around the trash so I used
some type of insecticide to kill them. Then I
began to watch TV until my parents came
home.
5. Midday Alternatives
Since I turned on the air when I arrived at my house I polluted the
air because of the energy production used to turn my AC on.
Electricity is produced by using coal power plants,the burning of
coal releases CO2 and methane into the air. Therefore, I could
of put the windows up instead of turning on the AC
I then ate a prepackaged salad and chicken This harms the
environment because when this was created toxins were
released in the air. Instead of buying it I could have had a
garden and used fresh vegetables and had no meat.
Next instead of using an insecticide I could have let them die on
there own or used a Eco friendly alternative. Using a non Eco
friendly insecticides release harmful toxins in the air.
6. Evening
I went to HEB and bought groceries. I had my
bagger bag them in plastic bags. I bought a lot
of cleaners and some detergent and body
wash. I then went to my car and stopped at
the gas station to fill up on gas. I ended up
spending more than I expected because gas
prices increased. I then went home and
unloaded my things and began cleaning.
7. Evening Alternative
Instead of using plastic bags for my groceries I
should have bought reusable Eco friendly
bags.
Instead of using regular cleaners and detergents
I could have bought the Eco friendly
detergents and cleaners that have less toxins
in them.
Instead of filling up on gas and driving to work I
could have had a friend take to work instead of
using to vehicles and polluting the air twice as
much.
