Lamp Struggles

Happy Monday everyone!
    This going green assignment is a FABULOUS idea. I am slightly embarrassed to say that I personally am not a particularly green person. I don't usually pay attention to those messages encouraging citizens to "go green." But that is all going to change! I am psyched to be in this group for the project because I am really truly going to dedicate myself to going green. Any change that I can make for the environment is worth it.

Today I did something simple that most people are probably going to think is pathetic but I think it's quite amazing... I turned my lamp off when I left the room. Yes, folks I don't usually do that. I know that is quite pathetic because almost everyone has learned from age 3 to turn the lights off when you leave the room. The problem is that my lamp is all the way in the opposite corner of my door, so when I turn the lamp off, I have to struggle and trip my way over in the dark to the door. I am aware that is the worst excuse ever, but hey I am making a change. So from now on, my lamp will be turned off and I will just have to struggle into the darkness for the 1.4 seconds it takes to walk to the door. You're welcome, Earth.

Hopefully next Monday I can report that I have stuck to my turning off of the lamp rule and also that I have done something maybe a little more drastic than turning off a light but hey... it ain't easy being green!
