Green Tea Progress pt. 3

In the past month of this experiment, test subject 1 has lost 4 pounds, gained clearer skin, but has worsened her test scores. Test subject 2 has lost 2 pounds, skin has stayed fairly the same, and has improved test scores. These results make it difficult to see if green tea really does affect people in positive ways, so I will be extending this experiment and conducting another month of it. I discovered that the test subjects claim green tea makes them feel calmer and in a more relaxed state of mind, helping them concentrate on homework and studying. One setback was one test subject forgot to drink tea one day of the month, which could have affected the results. When my experiment has concluded, instead of proposing to have green tea by the hot-water in the cafeteria, I plan to create an Instagram account creating awareness for green tea and the positive affects it has on people. When I conduct my next month long experiment, I plan to have my test subjects try drinking matcha-powder green tea, which is green tea leaves ground up into a fine powder, instead of using tea bags. In my next post I will compare the affects of matcha green tea with regular tea bag enclosed green tea. I can apply what I have learned so far to my own life and tell others around me about how green tea is good for them.

• Human breast milk has high amounts of chemicals.
• Factories in third-world countries=tons of smog and pollution.
• Factory workers inhale chemicals just because they need money

• stuff is purposely designed to be thrown away so you'll buy a new one.
• perceived obsolescence =throw away stuff that doesn't look good anymore(embarrassment)
• Fashion is a huge part of this
• Advertisements 
• More ads seen now than people did 50 years ago in their lifetime.

Green Tea Progress Pt.2

Subjects 1 and 2 have received the same grades as before. Neither subject lost weight since last week. Subject 1's skin is still incredibly clear. Subject 2's skin has noticeably cleared up more than last week. This week no major events happened. I will update this blog next week(:

Green Tea Progress

Subject 1 has lost 2 pounds in the past two weeks. Subject 2 has lost 1 pound. Subject 2's test scores are the same as before the experiment, but subject 1's has improved one of the test scores in her class. Subject 1's skin has become the clearest it has ever been. Subject 2's skin has not endured any bad breakouts. So far the green tea has been benefiting the test subjects. I will update the progress on this experiment weekly. If anything significant happens during the course of the week, I will make a separate blog post about it.
