ECON 340/ENVA 300: Consumer diary

Over the next week you will be keeping a very simple diary of selected purchases and consumption choices made each day. This diary should cover January 29 - February 5.

Transportation (list miles travelled by each mode: car,bus, foot, etc.)

Major electronics use (# hours turned on: TV, computer, dorm fridge, other?)

Other utility use (minutes in hot shower, # loads of laundry; include just you, not roommates)

Food (servings of beef & pork, poultry, dairy, fruit.)

Set up your diary in a form which is easy to fill out each day, and which will cover a full week. Once the diaries are complete we will be estimating a variety of impacts. Bring yours to class Thursday, Jan. 30, along with any questions.
