Overall Idea

For the remainder of the semester, each group in our Global Experience class is given a different challenge. Our groups' goal is to limit the money that we each spend on a daily basis. We are being challenged to reuse items and make the most of what we already have, instead of buying unnecessary items.

JT "Dipping"

For the past year while at Elon I have picked up this new disgusting habit called dipping. Tobacco is horrible for you and can cause cancer. I have become addicted to it and now feel I that with this challenge it is the appropriate time to drop the habit. Originally I dipped tobacco because I wanted to see what all the hype was. Now I dip to relieve stress which is horrible. In my health and spirit class my teacher has given me an good alternative to dipping which is meditating, by taking out time from your day to inhale and exhale. Lately I have been putting the dip down and have began meditating. Not only is meditating healthier then dip but it almost revives your mind and body. My head has been more clear sense I have had this resolution and I am able to do more with my days. This challenge is essentially decreasing my risk of getting cancer and making my days more eventful. The main point of the "Lorax" operation is conserving money, while meditating I have not bought a tin for about a week. I save 5$ every week because I dont have to but time, this conserves the use of a harmful and also the bad affects of having to recycle something that wont degrade in the eco-system for decades.
