    Happy Friday, everyone!  I am still working hard to stay consistent with my walking and water conservation.  I definitely am looking forward to this weekend!

    I must say that the really great recipes that Linda has been sharing are healthy and tasty.  I have been copying them and sharing them with a few of my good friends.  They also serve as good, healthy snacks for kids too.  So, on another note... this weekend I plan to donate some more items to Goodwill and also to a local homeless shelter.  This is a good opportunity to reduce, reuse, and help others in the process.

    Today I am struggling a bit to stay positive and motivated.  But, things are going alright.  I want to stay focused on the positive and keep my goals in sight.  I am happy to be a part of such a great team here!

      I think you're doing fantastic!  It's great to see all the things your tackling in this challenge.  Don't worry if you can't do everything everyday. Even once a week is a great start. All the small impacts add up over time, especially if they can become habit.

    I am doing pretty well on my goals.  I am still conserving water and walking daily.  I wanted to share another reduce and reuse opportunity that may be of interest for people that are remodeling or making significant changes to their homes.  Habitat for Humanity has a restore home improvement outlet in Beaverton with a salvage service.  It is a great way to help people in need.  Feel free to email me if you want more details.  Thanks!

      Oh I love that place... it is also a really good resource if you are into mixed media art or crafting!

    This weekend I plan on donating an old computer to a nonprofit called Free Geek (they take old tech / hardware, fix it up, and then donate to a local school).  It is a great way to reduce, reuse, and help the community.

    I am still working on water conservation and avoiding the use of plastic water bottles.  I also am continuing to focus on walking a minimum of 1 mile a day, instead of driving or commuting in a vehicle.  Over this weekend I walked about 3 1/2 miles.

    Just wanted to share this with everyone... one of my goals is water conservation.  Jennifer Nelson offered a great suggestion of using low flow shower heads and leak detection kits.  I am actually going to get a low flow shower head tonight after work.  I am definitely focusing on different ways to control and steadily decrease the water consumption in my household.  I am happy to make progress bit by bit.  And, a special thanks to Jennifer!

    I am focused on walking at least one mile per day, and also water conservation.  I need to get more consistent, but I am doing well.  Keeping a positive attitude is key!

      Great choices! Do you have any good ideas for conserving water? I know Tualatin Valley Water District has a number of items like low flow shower heads and leak detection kits at the 170th Ave office in the lobby. If you'd like, I could pick some up for you on my way to the train!

    I went to the store last night and bought a couple of low cost water containers that I can use instead of buying bottled water.  I am really excited about my goal.  I think that I can probably prevent using two to three bottled waters each day (I drink a lot of water).  I am just getting started.

      Did you know there is a water bottle filling station in PSB? A lot easier than using a water fountain!
