    I'm glad we have the EcoChallenge, because it reminds me to shut off the water when I'm not using it.  I started with it just brushing my teeth and now I pay attention when I wash dishes, rinse things, etc.

    I used to brush my teeth with the water off all of the time.  Then, for some reason, I started brushing my teeth with the water on.  I couldn't explain why, but I couldn't brush my teeth with the water off! I thought about it the whole time I would brush my teeth and wish I didn't do it.  With the new EcoChallenge, I am more mindful and have been brushing my teeth with the water off now.
