TOTAL CALORIC INTAKE: 2226 Calories

All of the food that I consumed in this 24 hour period was prepackaged or purchased at a grocery store. I get my food from the grocery store. I don't think sustainably when I shop. I buy items packaged in plastic and cardboard (which can be recycled), I buy produce based on price not the location it was grown (how far it had to travel to get to my store), and I usually buy canned or frozen veggies because they last longer.

I usually carry a water bottle, textbooks, notebooks, pens/pencils, my iPod, and my cell phone daily. I currently use disposable plastic water bottles (that can be recycled). I am transitioning into using a reusable water bottle, however, I am finishing my current supply of water bottles before I begin using a reusable bottle daily. My textbooks were used when I bought them, so there were no inserts or plastic packaging. My notebooks were bought in a six pack that was packaged in shrink-wrap plastic. My pens and pencils were packaged in plastic with cardboard inserts. My iPod came in a hard plastic shell with paper inserts (instructions). My cell phone came in a cardboard box with paper inserts (instructions).

At this point in time, I don't live sustainably. I should be buying locally grown produce, items that are packaged in sustainable materials, I should be recycling, and I should be paying MORE attention to my impact on the planet.
