Helping a cold and helping the environment


I have a cold……..I’m cranky, tired, stressed, and it finals week. I can barely remember what I learned in school last week yet alone to unplug my phone cord. But I’m still making an effort, so I thought to myself what are some easy ways to help the environment while helping my cold without cutting into my study time. First thing I needed this morning was medicine lots and lots of medicine so instead of lazy having my mom drive across the street to the store I bungled up and walked. With a stack of tests to get done I needed something to cut the cold and get my energy going. Instead of going for the store brought tea that is transported from who knows were on a truck that releases gases that destroy the environment. I boiled a whole lemon sliced, with half a red onion sliced, and a bunch of organic honey.  The onion and lemon both came from the local produce market.  It doesn't taste half bad and I am feeling better; as is the environment. While my tea was boiling I unplug my cellphone cord, my laptop cord (because the battery was at 100%), and even unplugged my TV (helping me keep focused and helping the environment). If your relaxing at home spending your day reading blogs then lucky you. If you trying to stay strong and get through finals then you’re not alone. I’m done my tea and there is a history final that needs getting done. Remember to help yourself by helping the environment.
