    Challenge going well - been using reusable shopping bags and coffee mugs, eating mostly meatless meals, working from home and holding conference calls instead of in-person meetings, turning off water and lights when possible.

    Day 1, so far so good.  Telecommuted, ate a meatless breakfast, used a reusable coffee mug, turned off water and lights when not needed, recycled my empty food containers and cardboard.
