Nicki Heath 10/24/2016 3:40 PMGreat! I am consciously turning off lights, using cold water when possible, and teaching my 2-yr-old great-grandson to turn off lights when leaving the room. He loves switches! -
Nicki Heath 10/21/2016 1:01 PMWhy didn't I think of this before? This morning, while running cold water from the hot water faucet, I happened to think that I could be brushing my teeth while waiting for the water to warm up. So while the water was still cold, I brushed my teeth. When it turned warm, I was ready to wash up!-
Nicki Heath 10/24/2016 3:42 PMGreat, Lisaanna! It's fun learning new tricks. -
Lisaana Otter 10/24/2016 12:33 PMI thought of you this morning - I added a glass beside the sink to use to catch the "warm up" water for teeth brushing. It's one of my challenges, too.

Nicki Heath 10/20/2016 5:52 AMThis isn't one of my challenges, but I am replacing a large front room window (broken seal) with a higher-end energy efficient window. -
Nicki Heath 10/16/2016 12:33 PMSo far, I've consciously stopped running the hot (yes, hot) water while brushing my teeth. I'm teaching my 2-yr-old great-grandson to brush his teeth and I talk to him about turning the water (now cold) off unless he is rinsing his brush. It's all good! -
Nicki Heath 10/13/2016 8:04 PMI've circled the house twice since I got home, and I've turned off lights in rooms not in use at the time.
