Ev shared a waste-stream bottled water story,She found bottles of water, going to use the opened one to waster her plants, found two unopened dasani bottles and her roommate had already drank them and is currently drinking a third bottle that she found.
What a privilege it is to go to school. Of course I was pretty much required to attend through high school. In Lukaya, Uganda things are not the same. Sure there is public school, but I have read disheartening reviews of them. There, the Mustard Seed Academy is a pre- and primary school for vulnerable and orphaned children. These children mostly only get the privilege of attending school if they get funding from a sponsor. An american can help a kid get off the streets and into a caring school for about 150 bucks. How many bottles of water is that.
At one time I started turning off my lights in my house becaouse if i leave them on then there wouldn't be enough power for light tomorrow. I wouldn't be able to study. Then, I had to carefully manage my usage because my power came from a small battery bank charged through PV solar panels. I was more dependent on the direct energy from the sun. Every ray counted. Before that time, my understanding of the world was that i could stick a plug into the wall outlet and have an endless source of power. I expected that it would be there for my convenience.
So why should you turn off the lights or employ energy savings measures? Is it because kids around the world who are lucky enough to have the privilage to go to school, often don't have lights to study by at home?
Food: No Need for me to go searching for food, however, I was craving something other than the waste-stream rite-aid cookies and snacks that i've been consuming. So I took a quick trip to the Library. I found a monster Italian sub and a whole blueberry bagel as an escape from junk food.
