Vegetarianism=Endgame
My experience with the DOT
Sadly my DOT project has come to an end, and so has my rush to avoid to eat meat. By doing this project I have learned a lot about myself, for example I tend to make a lot of errors when it comes to routines. When trying not to eat meat I had cheated a lot and gave in to my temptations. During the project i had to log my data every day and put down what I had eat, go ahead and check it out: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1c3ISXTYNi_l3HXvpkI4Xh2IDQFJzbbwY5WSh3u3KbnQ/edit?usp=sharing
I had saved 21,900 gallons of water doing the dot project! I also avoided eating 9 pounds of animal meat. Id say that’s pretty good considering I was only doing this for a month. I think now I am going to try to continue on with my DOT but in a more modified. For example when going out to eat or even at my own home if there are vegetarian options I will try to pick those instead of the ones with meat. Also I have been inspired by one of my peers projects and how sustainable they have been to take it own. There DOT was take shorter showers! I know it sounds a little sketchy but it will help to save a lot of water. Foe example you can save more that 10 gallons of water reducing your showers 2 minutes shorter. I learned most of this from this website, go ahead and check it out maybe it'll inspire you as did me: http://www.bu.edu/sustainability/what-you-can-do/ten-sustainable-actions/take-shorter-showers/
It been a wild experience for me doing the DOT project but i’m just happy I got to experience this opportunity. Also Its cool to know that I help reduce CO2 emission! Its time for me to sign off now but don’t worry cause I will be back and next time it will be for an even bigger impact.
