What a Waste!

Day 4

4 hrs.

Today was Earth Day at Proctor! It was great to see not only me picking up bottle caps and chip bags from the ground... I accomplished a lot of my cardboard chair––only the sides need to be glued on!

I also started putting together that survey. It was interesting (and very frightening) to read the numbers:

9,960 junk mail letters printed, shipped delivered, disposed of in the U.S. alone every 3 seconds.

400,000 bottles consumed every minute in the U.S.

320,000 kilowatt hours of electricity wasted in the U.S. every minute from inefficient light bulbs.

2 million plastic bottles every 5 minutes in the U.S.

I went to Peter and Rachel's around 5pm to see the Gallery Crawl. Because of its poor advertisement and the fact that it was a Thursday, it was absolutely a "crawl." But I really enjoyed spending time with the two of them together.

I'm feeling good with my projects, they seem to really be moving along. Photos are coming, I promise.
