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.

SUMMER

Since summer is quickly approaching, I figured that searching for some good summer items would be a good thing to blog about. Although not everyone is excited that bathing suit season is coming up, a good way to prepare for that is to eat organic foods that are healthy for you. Although an ice cream might sound more appealing than a piece of fruit, choosing the healthier alternative is what I chose to do when it gets closer to the summer (and something I probably should do all year). A good place to go, like I mentioned in an earlier blog, is LoYo or any other frozen yogert place. Not only is the frozen yogurt good for you but it can also satisfy that craving that you might have for an ice cream cone on a hot summer day. Instead of piling on the Oreos or hot fudge, put healthy things on your frozen yogurt, such as different fresh fruits and granola.
Another thing that I looked at was bathing suits that are made out of organic materials. I do not have any bathing suits that are made out of organic material, but there are many positive reasons why you should look into what you buy and how the fabrics were made. The number one material that is used for making clothes is cotton, which requires a lot of chemicals. All clothing that is labeled “organic” uses material that has been made without using chemicals or pesticides. By buying organic clothing, you are not only bettering the environment, but you are also putting a healthier alternative up against your skin.

Here is a link to an organic bathing suit site…
