Day 24

A picture of something you wish you could change.

i really hate ones like this. it's just like the "something you wish you could forget" one. so i thought a lot about it. and there's nothing in my life or about myself that i would want to change. well improve, yeah. but the word is change.

i realize a couple of these are a bit ridiculous, like don't fly...so am i supposed to walk across the country to get back to california?? and so much for having 5 kids....but i think the rest of them are easily do-able!

something i've been passionate about for a long time is fixing global warming. ok now i'm gonna start sounding really lame. but seriously, i'm so into recycling and saving water and planting trees and eating organically and all that stuff. i think it started my freshman year of high school. me and my friends were total tree huggers...i was even in the club! and once, when my seminary teacher argued that global warming isn't even happening, i was FURIOUS. just one reason why i hated him.
anyway, like i said, i'm really into recycling and not wasting stuff or whatnot. unfortunately, our house here doesn't have a dishwasher. so my aunt buys PLASTIC CRAP so she doesn't have to do as much dishes. i mean, i understand that, but still, it's so so painful for me to do it. plastic/paper cups, plates, and bowls. it's horrible. plus, it's worse to hand wash your dishes than to use a dishwasher. uses up more water. and they didn't even recycle before i moved in. they mostly just recycle bottles and cans but just recently started to recycle paper and cardboard. ugh it's so sad to just throw that stuff away. it causes me pain haha.
i also hate wasting food and water because i always think of people who don't have anything. i try not to take that for granted. and i try to teach holden and mackenna (mostly holden) not to waste anything. they'll leave the sink running (causing it to overflow all over the kitchen floor) and leave the fridge open (not to do with not wasting stuff, but conserving energy) and waste so much food. ugh it kills me!
so yeah, i want to change the world as much as i possibly can. and there's tons of ways to do it. just save energy, recycle, don't waste food, and plant trees! YAYYY!!
