Day Five Of Mark Abell's No Impact Project

• attended Architecture 101: Introduction To Environmental Design, Sociology 320: Globalization, and Dr. Brower's Environmental Activism class
• walked to Embassy Suites (SW 4th & Pine) to meet my parents
• walked to a Thai restaurant, where we all had dinner
• took the Maxx to the Blazer's stadium
• the game was enjoyable. However, inside of the stadium, I realized how far outside of the mainstream I have become. For instance, I disagree with the mission and ethics of almost every sponsor: Nike-sweatshops, McDonalds-unhealthy and toxic food, Wells Fargo bank[1] was among the eight major US banks to receive bailout funds, Subway: the food is really not very fresh. Instead, we need to support local-yocal sandwich shops. Also Ford Motor Co. and Toyota-we need to get past the car paradigm, we need walkable/bikable cities with excellent mass transportation.
