Eco Footpring update #2 -

Something new I'm gonna do - unplug equipment

I own a very small recording studio (as pictured above). A friend of my lets me rent out a room in his basement. It just occurred to me that there is no need to leave all my equipment plugged in when I'm not there. An easy way for me to save energy and reduce my footprint would be to simply unplug everything.  This should be easy to do all of the gear is plugged into various power strips in the room. Unfotunatley, this won't decrease my power bill as my studio is in a different locatoin than where I live and pay the elctiricty bill.



Running Outside

In my last blog update I said I was going to try to run more outside and less indoors on the treadmill. This proved to be more difficult than I orignally thought.  Take today for example, the weather is really crappy and I know I'm not gonna run outside.  Another problem I found is that running outside takes me longer because it is hard to maintain a steady pace. On a treadmill that's not an issue, you can just program in how fast you want to go.

Chicken Consumption

I'm doing a pretty good job at this, i think even better than I orignally thought I could do.  I've reduced my chicken breast consumption to one and half pieces a day. I'm a lot hungrier but I'm also being a lot more eco friendly.  Good for me.
