Ecological Footprint Assessment 10/26

So far I've given a strong effort in following my goals to reduce my impact on the environment. I have been able to go two meatless days a week fairly easy, and in some instances, I've been able to go three-four days a week without meat. It certainly helps that I am currently lacking paid employment, if I had more money to spend on groceries, it would be easier to pay for expensive meat products. That being said, I have had a little trouble buying locally sourced, organic produce and meat products, typically because the products are accompanied by a higher price tag. I am doing the best I can with my financial restrictions! I've been staying true to my third EF goal, carpooling to the river every time I go out fly fishing. It has been fairly easy since most of my buddies are just as into the sport as myself, and are always willing to get out and achieve some river therapy! I would like to stick with my three goals and add a fourth. The three goals I have now are achievable and certainly make a difference in my personal impact and earth requirements. The fourth goal I'd like to add is to turn off power strips or at least unplug all unused electronics and appliances. I pay the bills at my apartment, so it will be easy for me to see direct results in how much money were saving on ghost power. We have a lot of electronics (speakers, tv, xbox, etc.) in our living room so the simple power strip would work really well for that energy hub. I'm excited to see the savings on our energy bill and hopefully this is a lifestyle adjustment that I can pass on to my roommates and friends/family.
