Oops! I thought I had done this one!
The most challenging issue I had with the energy conservation project was recording myself. I felt like the first day of student teaching. When I went back and reviewed myself, I found myself saying "um" A LOT! I also noticed I avoided looking directly at the camera and instead kept my eyes safely pointed towards the screen. This shouldn't have been a problem since I came in on a Sunday to record it in private.
For the actual project, I was amazed at how much money I spent on fountain sodas and how much paper waste I accumulated because of my soda addiction. I used to also get a latte every morning but I have switched to tea to save money and paper. When I made this switch I had to deal with headaches (which I used to never get) that finally went away after about a week. Can latte withdrawals cause that?
I did try to get the convenience store to carry re-usable cups to sell, but I got a not-so-polite "yeah, right!"
Overall, it was an eye-opening experience that has influenced my routine.
