Day Six Of Mark Abell's No Impact Project

  • Walked to my allergy appointment (SW 10th near the Pearl)
  • went to Philosophy lecture
  • walked to the post office, bought stamps
  • dropped prescription off at Safeway
  • took out recycling and trash. It was about a 1:1 ratio. Still haven't phased out Trader Joes' heavily packaged turkey.
  • mailed some letters
  • took the streetcar to SW 4th and Pine
  • loaded up a Kia Optima that my parents rented to go skiing. The vehicle should get 22 city/32 highway[1] However, taking the Greasebus out skiing is preferable[2].
  • went to Ski Bowl[3] Went down about five runs on my snowboard.
  • unpacked our car, brought all of our ski equipment back into our room.
  • sat in a hot-tub with my mom, sister, and some people that were staying in our hotel.
  • drank some Fat Tire Beer[4]. I suppose a more local Portland beer such as a Widmer[5] would be preferable but the manufacturer of F.T.B., New Belgium is a very progressive company.
  • did not generate a lot of trash today. However, my 12 inch submarine sandwich from Subway came with a wax wrapper, a plastic bag which I think is a bit excessive. I usually avoid Subway.
