Sustainability Post #6

I think that I have really tried to make a difference in what I do to save water and energy. The game that my mom and I came up with didn't work out very well. We don't really play it anymore. I still go around and turn off lights though. Taking shorter showers are hard for me. I think I was able to do it a little but not a great amount. I don't think we have changed much from this project since my dad has always recycled and my mom is working and Luke Center so she pushed for sustainability too. I think that some new ways that we have developed will work if we keep at them to make a routine. I real challenge for me was conserving water. Because I have paddle and water polo my hair really take a beating. Without long showers my hair is dreads. I think that my actions have really affected something in my family. I haven't seen the water or energy bill yet, but I think I have made a small difference. I think I will make my mom more incentives for me and my family to make the recycling we do more than just a chore. I believe that Punahou should make better ways of telling us than just shoving it down our throats. Being told, over and over again will only make us more annoyed about the subject. I think I will try to continue what I have started, but to be honest, I will probably forget about what I have done.
