sustainability.

I define sustainable as using resources to the fullest and best way capable.  I believe that I am a sustainable person because I try to use a lot of things that I have in an efficient manner.  Especially now, as a college student, with not a lot of money in my bank account and the responsibility of buying my own groceries and necessities, I have to try to use what I have as much as I can as well as long as I can because no one wants to use all their money on just the necessities, especially if you are a girl and love to shop as I do.  Because I want some extra spending money in my bank account along with some money to put gas in my car on a road trip, I try to expand all my toiletries the best I can, and I have to say that I have become quite good at it.  The one thing, though, that I could do better to be more sustainable is to not use as many paper towels and napkins.  I tend to use a lot of these in my daily routines from drying my hands to cleaning up messes, or using them while I eat.  I always use more paper towels and napkins than I should and I have noticed it before, but I am such a messy person, as well as a little bit of a germaphobe, that I feel the need to use excess paper towels and napkins because I don't want to reuse them.
