DAY 1
So far, I have actually enjoyed this new society. I get to sleep in every day until 8:30, and wake up to a healthy breakfast to get my day started. My neighbors who work near me, walk or ride our bikes to work every morning, depending on the weather. The weather is usually a comfortable temperature to be outdoors for a while. When I got to work this morning, I had my first Fossil Fuel Free Society meeting at the FFFS Headquarters to talk about our new solar wind farm project. Everything we have been working on has been a success, like the use of cars, plastic, and paper being banned from society. Somethings are hard getting used to, but it will be worth it in the long run.
DAY 2
Today, I went shopping for Christmas, I have saved so much money from being here! My car has barely been used because i find it much healthier to walk to places unless it is cold out or too far away. During work, I had to go to the Climate change committee where we discussed how to keep your climate comfortable depending on the region. If you live in a cool region, the use of windbreaks to protect homes from cold winter winds and allow the winter sun to reach the south-facing windows to make it warmer without having to use as much heat. If you live in a hot-humid region, make sure there is summer breeze coming toward your home, maximize the summer shade with trees that still allow the sun. These tips will be very useful during the winter and summer season, they will also help me save energy by not using as much heat and air conditioning.
DAY 3
Today was a different day, Saturdays are the days when no one works for long hours. After Lunch, I spent the day looking for good garage sales. Once every 6 months, we have a town wide garage sale, this enables people to buy reusable products instead of throwing them out. Recycling has become a very significant part in society. Every school, job, and home must recycle every reusable product. Paper has become illegal due to the use of trees, this is not as big of an issue because we can still use computers.
