EC Blog (true geen)

The changes I promised myself from the previous blog were to improve on mobility. I challenged myself to car pool more frequently and to ride the transit. Honestly, I can say that the better side of the bargain was carpooling. My sister would drop me off on campus and pick me up after work, so this was something that we could manage together. Catching the bus was a difficult option I tried once, and I ended up late to class because I had missed the times! Least to say, I live around 35 minutes away from school and I could not afford to miss class.
A way that I can make a difference to the environment would be to join the recycling club at FGCU. It is pretty awesome how better a person feels after placing a water bottle into the recycling bin; instead of the trash can and knowing they’ve just made a difference. So being part of an organization that benefits the university would be top notch. Also with that being said, a friendly way to show how I am continuing the “green revolution” is using those reusable eco-friendly bags they offer about at every super market available. It is a good option I’ve invested on, since it does not require further plastics bags to be used up on groceries or other necessities. Besides, they are around dollar, and it is simple and compact to take about anywhere.

VIEWER DESCRESSION IS ADVISED



If you haven’t come across the Head On commercial that has played on television before, be well advised it’s ANNOYING! From my perspective, it’s a woman who rubs what appears to be a glue stick across her forehead. The commercial itself is not very informative, besides the repetitive slogan “Head On: Apply directly to the forehead.” I find it funny how they emphasize an arrow pointing towards the forehead, as if it is not already stated. In my opinion, it is a bad commercial that makes me want to throw my TV out the window, instead of buying their product.
Thesis:
Head on is an ointment you evidently apply directly to your forehead. For what, I can’t exactly say. Watch the video. I guarantee you won’t forget how to apply it.
Audience:
Head On is aimed to anyone who is experiencing minor headaches.
Purpose:
The purpose of the Head On is to grab individuals into purchasing their product that claims “fast, safe, effect” relief from headaches.

IF YOU HAVE TIME TO SPARE, I WOULD LEGIT CHECK OUT THE VIDEO BELOW! IT'S A PARODY.

It's a GREEN revolution ahead...

My results indicated that my footprint would need 3.8 earths, and 16.9 global acres to support my lifestyle. That made me look at a new prospective: destruction. A foot print is the amount of resources a person consumes, and without seeing the big picture, we take it for granted and what we take in lessens our natural environment. Earth, our home, is being further abused by the industrial world, and an increased level of pollution appears on a regular basis; whether it being from gas guzzlers to garbage in local waters. A way we can sustain our planet can be to recycle and take in consideration of our actions we leave behind. From past experience, I chosen to ride the local transit here in Fort Myers to school, and it wasn’t bad. I mean, yeah there were weird characters I would ride with, but it was interesting to interact with people of different backgrounds. That and I yet could afford to buy my own car, least to say pay for gas! Though, now I have a vehicle, so I’ve stopped riding the bus, and I miss it! So the changes I would make for the planet to be more eco-friendly is mobility, this was the biggest target on my personal pie chart. I am going to challenge myself to carpool or catch the bus to local areas, though not for school, that would be nearly impossible. It helps me know that there are better outcomes for both me and the world! Who knows how much of a difference it would make, and if it means to walk a little further to a transit stop to be GREEN :)!
