Tomorrow is the last day of our challenge and I'm honestly going to miss getting points for doing this stuff. Most of it will stay with me. Turning the lights off when I leave a room, shutting off the water when I brush my teeth, taking five minute showers; I'm more conscious of all of them now. I'll definitely do this again next year on my own and get people to join me.

On Friday was the mark of our first successful week of this challenge. And I have to say I've had a lot of fun. I had a little trouble at first, mostly with the 5 minute shower challenge, but i finally got to the point where I beat the timer. My coworkers have been getting frustrated with me turning the lights off in certain rooms and make fun of me for being environmentally conscious. It surprises them for some reason when I'm not insulted. I've also enjoyed seeing the sunset every night. It's very romantic. So far so good this challenge is going.
