Well, today I had to go to work, and I was there all day until 8:30pm. I don’t think I did as much as could have done to help improve the environment today. Well I did take the train instead of asking my sister or mom to give me a ride. I live in Queens and work in the City, at Bloomingdales. I take the bus and train because I think this way I help reduce the pollution, and I also walk a few blocks because is good for my health as well. I work as a sales associate for the fragrance department; which means I have to spray all kinds of fragrances all day long. I try not to spray the ribbons too much because I know that perfumes have all kinds of chemicals and I’m contaminating the environment. I even feel nauseous sometimes at the end of the day for smelling all types of fragrances. Another good thing I always do when someone purchase a fragrance is that whenever I see a costumer carrying a bag from a previous shop, I don’t give them a new bag, I always asked them if I can put the box inside their bags. =) Ohhh, another good thing I try to do as much as I can, is that I always bring my own food to work; I’m not only saving money but also cups, plates, paper, plastic utensils, bags, etc.
To be honest with everybody and to myself, I hardly do something good for the environment. The only thing that I do is recycle, it’s something I know I just have to do, I don’t even think about it. I don’t use hair products as much as I used to, I also try to save paper, I use every single space left on a page, I also try not to use many chemicals at home when cleaning. I don’t really safe any water. I waste a lot of water when I take a shower.
=(… I knowwww!!! I have to change that!!!! But After reading Al Gore's book, I recognize that “WE” should be doing a lot more for our environment. Our planet is really messed up right now, and I will try my best from now on to collaborate as much as I can to save my planet, there will be a day when we won’t have more resources. NOW is the time to change bad habits.
