Green Summer Goals Met! :)

I was just clicking around my blog and came across My Goals for a Greener Summer and I am happy to announce that I've met ALL my goals!
  • I walk more often than I did before. To be fair, since school has started, I walk less than I did during the Summer. But if I'm not walking, I'm usually riding the CTA.
  • I bought myself a red aluminum water bottle, so I hardly carry a plastic bottle with me anymore...unless I am without water and have to buy some.
  • I do take shorter showers now, but I haven't mastered the 6 minutes shower yet. To be honest my short showers are really more about maximizing my sleep time and less about minimizing my carbon footprints...but it's all the same in the end.
  • And I am happy to say I do buy less things now than before. I do not remember the last time I bought a new pair of shoes or a purse and I hardly buy books anymore (school books don't count, because I have to buy them). You'd think I'd have saved a good amount of money this summer, but I spent my money on dinners and drinks...Money well spent!

So now I just have to set goals for a greener Fall...any suggestions?
