The Bag Effect and Writing

I chose to do my environmental project on the nation's growing issue of plastic waste from plastic grocery bags. I want to try and get 8 families to use less than 2 plastic bags for the next 2 weeks. Any grocery bags used will be given to me to recycle when the challenge is over. I decided to ask non-Aim High families to participate (although you can if you like:) because I think it would involve the rest of the community in this growing issue. The project will start this evening after I have had a chance to tell my friends and neighbors about it. I hope this project raises awareness of the 4-5 trillion plastic bags in landfills nationwide.

When I get stressed out and feel as if I just want to escape into someone else's head for a while, I write. I found my self thinking of an imaginary world of knights and dragons without even realizing it yesterday during lunch at school. Sometimes, I think better after I've started a story because I've put my thoughts out onto paper and then, I can focus. This is what I do when I feel as though I've got too much on my plate. I'm a rather creative person, so sometimes the writing solves my problems and qualms for me. Now wonder I want to be an author!

See you all tonight!

By the way, Thursday morning I get my boot off and can start training again with a brace!
