Day In the Life: Ed

Meet Ed, he is a high school science teacher.  He wakes up every morning to his IPhone alarm around 5:00am.  He then proceeds to plug in his coffee maker and pour in some Fair Trade grounds.  Ed doesn't like to leave anything plugged in to save energy.  He then takes a strict five minute shower and turns the faucet on for under a second to put water on his toothbrush.  Ed loves to ride his bike to work usually, but relies on his car in the winter.  When it comes to appearance, he goes for the natural scruffy look and carries his beige recycled knapsack everywhere.  On this particular day Ed headed to work in his old broken down station wagon because it was raining.  As soon as he got to work he opened up is classroom and cleaned the desks with eco-friendly disinfectant.  He then scanned his IPhone for the latest in the science world.  See, Ed doesn't like wasting paper but when the school delivers it to his classroom he takes home recycles it usefully.  As Ed was searching his phone for the next type of seeds he wants for his garden he stumbled across a SmartCar ad.  Although Ed already had a car, this one was advertised as very efficient and would be much less of a waste of energy than his bulky station wagon.  The ad even caught his attention with the green background.  With that last thought running through his mind the bell rang.  As usual the students came in and he gave his powerpoint lecture on the contents of a cell. Ed also does not give out paper handouts, instead has an online website for the students.  Once his day was over he pulled out his homemade sandwich wrapped in fabric and ate with his pals at a Cafe they meet at on Wednesdays. There, Ed discussed his concerns on the latest oil spill near the Golden Gate.  Once finished, Ed went home and pondered the ad he saw earlier.  Later that evening just before he went to bed, and after all the plugs were out he decided that he needed a SmartCar.

What Ed might look like below.    :)




And here is the ad he viewed.
