Conservation (not conversation).

I like to conserve as much as I can. I try to turn off lights when I don't need them, I turn off electronics when they're not in use, and I bought one of those cool metal water bottles (notthatIuseitmuch). I'm definitely not the "greenest" person, but I try.

I get really anxious if I feel like I'm wasting stuff. I'm all, "Omg. this shower is too long.
People in Africa don't have fresh water. They're going to HATE ME." I know this isn't true, but it's how I feel deep down inside. If I don't finish all of my food, I think of the starving people.
I still don't finish all of my food. The thought is still there. It turns in to a vicious cycle.

Then I think of something like this:


Yeah, we won't be alive for it (WILL ANYONE? 2012?), but it's still a good idea to, you know, make life better for your kids in the future. So...try to conserve as much as you can, even if it's something like throwing the can a little to the left so that it lands in the recycling bin instead of the trash can.

(PS: I'm going to be at college orientation for the next few days, so I won't be making entries.)
