ASA 141
The Last Green Challenge Post
As the title of the project alludes, the past five weeks have been, indeed, a challenge for me. I used to buy products when they were on sales whether I needed them or not. Probably the advanced technology was not on my side: All I had to do to purchase a product was to click a few buttons. The Green Challenge was not a huge success for me to be honest. I broke my commitment and ended up buying some random things as their prices went down because it was Mother's Day, Veteran's Day, the list goes on and on. Yet it was not a total failure either since I was able to control myself from time to time, and at this point I can prioritize things I need right now and only buy those necessities. I am thankful for the opportunity through which I got to practice controlling my consumeristic habit.
