Ecological footprint START

I am going to start to try and reduce my ecological footprint and 10:52AM on 11/18/08. After taking the quiz, my ecological footprint told me it would take 3.8 Earth's if everyone in the world lived like me. This is very upsetting because I don't see myself as a very high maitenance person, but I was very wrong. Hopefully when I retake the quiz I will lower my ecological score.

Discrimmination

Discrimmination has been a large issue in society for many centries and is still a problem today. In the future, I believe our generation is going to realize how much discrimmination still exists today and we are going to voice our opinions to end this injustice. An obvious discrimmination was against blacks in the past which has improved tremendously as we continue to treat them as equals. A discrimmination where I feel is consistenly ignored is discrimmination against gays. I feel this issue is ignored because they gay culture itself has never been very large and most gay personalilties aren't about hostility. I feel our generation has a large voice and even those who are not gay support the homosexual culture because there are many friends of gays and they can see how unfairly the gay culture is treated. I feel that in the future we will deal with more rights being granted to the gays because of the protests and voices of those who disagree with this social injustice.

No technology

So I didn't think my day would be very different with out technology but boy was I wrong. It first started with walking to class without my ipod. This forced me to look at my surroundings more. I noticed how nice our campus was with the trees and I also read a lot of messages in chalk on the side walk. There was also a performance going on with dancers dressed up in colorful outfits. I would not have even heard the music if I had my ipod in my ears. Also, while in class I was very attentive and I took very detailed notes. This never happens when I use my phone because I am always talking to someone which takes my attention away from the class. With out tv, I did a large amount of homework which never happens. I always spend my time watching movies instead of homework which makes my work rushed and sloppy. Without my computer I was unable to chat with anyone on facebook. I felt cut off from the world. Texting and phone calls set up any social plans with my friends which I didn't really have any in teh 24 hours I was cut off from the world. I plan on cutting down my tv time in order to stay productive with homework, but I still enjoy my ipod because even though I was more aware of my surroundings, I still was bored walking to class.
