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.

Tuesday - Laura

After dinner, a few of my friends and I went to the new frozen yogurt place on the edge of campus called LoYo. Considering that the main point of the “Lorax” is to conserve money and recycle, I was very proud of myself for the choices that I made tonight. As we walked up to LoYo, we saw a sign outside that said “Buy One, get one free”. So for the four of us, we only paid for the price of two. One of the cool things about this frozen yogurt place is that they use all organic foods and ingredients that are locally grown. Originally, I was not planning on getting anything when we walked in. But since my friend got something, she got one free...so I couldn’t let it go to waste. When I was in there, I also noticed that all the plastics and cardboards that they use to serve their yogurt in, like the spoons and cups, are biodegradable and made from recycled products. This is not only good for the environment, but it also made me feel good about how I was following the challenge that my group had been given! Although I do prefer YoZone over LoYo, for the remainder of the school year I will get Frozen Yogurt from the environmentally-friendly organically and locally grown place rather than the place with all artificial flavors and toppings.
