    Getting my kids to take 5 minute showers is harder than I thought!  But playing a 5 min song helps.

    During the school week, I rarely make purchases.  So no bags required.  :)

    I drive a Chevy Volt.  (Well, and a minivan).   It charges overnight with a regular outlet plug to the house.  I'm able to drive 40 miles on pure electric, and then it transfers to gas (45 mpg).  With tax rebates, this car was about the normal cost of a new car, and less than a minivan for sure!  I'd highly recommend it!

    This has been a great way to boost my own interest in conservation and self awareness.  Accountability is key.   I'm proud of our team!  We're holding our own!

    Took an evening walk tonight. It was great! Went through campus too, but not much going on.

    Pretty simple practice.  Whenever I buy something small enough, I put it in my purse and receive no bag.  Even if I forget my recyclable bag, my purse doubles as that.  If the item is large but easy to carry without a bag, I just carry it.
