    I have also been trying to remember to conserve water for other activities, such as washing my face or doing the dishes.

    Because of the challenge I turned off the kitchen light - it's sunny enough I can work without it!

    The EcoChallenge has motivated me to eat more vegetarian meals!  I believe I've eaten at least 15 meatless meals since the challenge began.
