    I've been keeping the lights off and curtains shut to conserve energy. And my new LED light bulbs are helping to conserve energy when the lights have to be on.

    I've been doing better meal planning to reduce food waste and it's been working out well.

    I ate two meatless meals today made from fresh whole foods, Preparing fresh foods is always a little more challenging during the busy work week. We shall see how the week goes.

    I changed 6 light bulbs in my house to LED. The storm is rolling in today. I've got my LED flashlights ready in case of a power outage.
