Three Items

ITEM ONE- Computer Activity

A frequent activity that I partake in. I play around on my laptop all the time, which means I'm constantly using electricity and thus wasting resources from the environment. I'd like to know where that electricity comes from and how its use affects the environment.

ITEM TWO- Irvine Trip

Happens once every two or three weeks, my mom and I travel up to Irvine for a doctor's appointment. The trip takes an hour and a half on the way up, and then another hour and a half down. I'd like to know how this affects the environment, what with the amount of gas it must use...

ITEM THREE- Dinner on Monday (Mac & Cheese)

Dinner this day was homemade. I'd like to know how making dinner at home compares to eating out, and how that affects the way we live and the environment, and if there's benefits or downfalls.

1 Reflection from Monday

MONDAY, 5:30 PM TO 7:00 PM - Play video games on the Wii

I have a thing for going on the computer and playing games on the TV, which is connected to the Wii. The TV and the Wii both come from the electronics store. The electronics store get their stock from the factories, which make the supplies needed to make the stock from various metals, which come from the environment. Also, both are powered by electricity, which is generated through various means (I'm not sure what), many means which use things in the environment for things they were not meant to be used for.

In other words, the Earth loses a lot of resources to produce both the systems to play the games with and the electricity needed to play those games in the first place. So playing games on the TV is draining resources faster than simply doing only one of those things, and is thus harming the environment.
