sustainable practices: week1 & 2& 3 thoughts
first week:
after the exciting discussion we had last week, I start to look for things that I can change at my place.
there are few things can be done this week.
1. ask landlord to fix the light that sometimes turns on when it shut down.
2. we are planing to purchase four LED light bulb to replace the regular light bulb in the comment area like kitchen, bathroom, living room and the foryer.
P.S. A LED light bulb is 30 times more than a regular bulb, but can last up to 10 years with 2 years warranty.
3. close the doors on the main entries to block the air and save more heat in the room.
4. maybe more.....
second week:
1. landloard fixed the light and also fix the ring bell. (that's a plus)
2. haven't act on the LED bulbs purchasing!
3. we did practice it. We all thought each floor is so much warmer than before. maybe the next step is to masure it?!
third week: Masuring & quantify it !!!!!!!!
we thought about how can we "masure" the act (walking), the wast, the energy
everytime when I meet task that need a precise mesurment, I always found that it's really challenge to me to plan out and line up the task.
PROJECTS that I would like to touch on !!!
1. housing adjustment: working in progress...
2. MTA recycle: no recycle bin???? why and how they recycle?
3. unessary energy uses at ITP: a.not use the elevator to go down stairs b. turn off the unusing lab top
4. diary on sustainable practices !
5. daily life practices scatch (maybe a collabration with Hikaru ?)
