    Wow!! I really enjoyed this year's EcoChallenge.  There are definitely things I could work on, like taking my hot to-go mug with me to coffee shops and trying to take more walks - today was a perfect day to do that, but I was so busy running around today.  Another goal could be to try to meet people within walking distance so I can drive less.  Bouncing from N Portland to 82nd to downtown was not great.
