No Impact Project
Is anyone joining in on the No Impact Project this week? It starts today.
Although there are certainly points within the How To Manual that I could use and benefit from, I’ve decided not to officially participate this week, for two reasons:
- It will be difficult for me to spend the time analysing my rubbish and energy consumption, and how to further reduce the impact of my transportation.
- The things I could do without taking much time (like going veg, turning off lights, not using air conditioning or using reusable shopping bags), I’m already doing.
It would be a great thing to do for someone who doesn’t usually consider the environment though, or someone with more time on their hands to really perform an analysis. I would like to consider my rubbish more closely and see how I can reduce things, but I think it will have to wait until my holidays from work. Likewise my energy consumption could use some work (probably more so than anything else). I shall simply hold my own No Impact Project, when I can!
Random point from the How To Manual that I thought was quite interesting:
The hot water you need to wash dishes can be generated by filling some old jars with water and sitting them against a dark background in the sun all day.
Not sure how that works with a dishwasher though…
