Saturday
Consumption-Today I tried to go the whole day without using some of the luxuries that Americans enjoy. I didnt use my cell phone until  5, I didnt watch television the whole day, I didnt use the computer, and I almost didnt take a shower then I realized that was dumb, but my shower was very short.

Water- i used the sink a couple times, took a short shower, and drank a couple glasses of water.

Gasoline- I didnt use any gasoline but I used propane when I cooked myself a little food.

Money- I didnt use any money today.

Sustainability- This lifestyle that I have tried to live this past week has been challenging but I have learned a lot from the challenges that are faced with living a reduced lifestyle.

Friday(didnt have access to computer until Sunday)

Consumption- On Friday I woke up took a shower and brushed my teeth. Also I Flushed the toilet around 4 times that day. After these essential commodaties that I used I really tried to reduce my consumption. I only drank 3 glasses of water and I only ate food for the most part that is nnot as good tastewise as a lot of american food. I pretty much ate a lot of bread and fruit.

Water- I did not use that much water again on friday and I am finding that to not use alot of water is very challenging especially because I do use a lot of water.

Electricity- I tried to reduce using electricity but it is pretty hard to do since lighting up rooms, using cellphone(charging), and making food all use electricity.

Gsoline- I did not use any gas personally but I did carpool in my friends car to save gas.

Money- I spent around 8 dollars Friday on some sodas.

I Have been reducing my showers for this whole week and I probably can for a while.

Technology

Consumption- Today I had a piece of pizza,a hotdog and a lot of chicken parm.

Water- Today I took a shower, brushed my teeth, flushed the toilet, and had 4 glasses of water.

Electricity- i used my phone, i used the computer, and today I only watched 1 hour of television.

Gasoline- I used the train today and did not use any other gas.

Money- I spent no money today except on a two dollar hotdog.

Reduction- Usually I take around a 5 minute shower but today I tooka 3 minute shower,I didnt really eat less  ut I used a lot less technology for technology thursday.

Sustainability- I think that I can take shorter showers for good now because it isnt that bad. Also I will try not to spend much money and use gasoline.

Day-4

Consumption

Water- today i took a shower in the morning, I brushed my teeth and flushed the toilet, also I had 4 glasses of water, and washed my hands

Electricity- today I turned on a couple lights, used a coffee maker at my house, used the computer, made a couple of calls on my cellphone, a watched television for two hours

Gasoline- Today again I did not use any gasoline because I didnt go to school.

Reduction- On a count of waterless wednesday I only drank two glasses of water and used water for the essentials such as shower,toilet, wash hands. I didnt use any gasoline, I reducd my consumption of electricity by a lot.

Sustainability- It has been difficult not consuming as much water because I like water and I see how water deprivation is very serious. Also using less electricity is hard to do because it is such a luxury.

From what I have seen on other people posts I have learned about a couple new kinds of way to save energy or water and I am going to work on incorporating them into my 7 day challenge

Day-3

Consumption- Today for try harder tuesday I tried to reduce my water usage by a lot since we did that study on how much water we consume. I went to the bathroom outside(except in one case) I didnt driunk any water all Tuesday. Also I just took a 1 minute shower. I alsmost didnt use any water.

I didnt use any gasoline today again except for entering the train to go home. For electricity I watched a little television, played a little video games and I used this computer.

I have been trying to significantly reduce my consumption of privledged materials and I think that I could possibly do this for an extended amount of time. I just think that I couldnt reduce my shower for a long time.
