    I have always been the kind of person that enjoys long showers. Over the last two weeks I have learned to appreciate 5 minute showers. They give me a lot of time back that I would have just spent standing in the shower. Even more importantly, its been a really easy way to save water and natural gas!

    I have really enjoying stopping to think about the joys I have within my life. Doing this on a daily basis is hard, you really have to dig and think about pieces of your life you do not normally think about.

      Also, this is the most rewarding challenge i have done. It makes me appreciate all the little things that I take for granted.

    I replaced the remaining incandescents, and even some CFLs, in my apartment with LED. I was shocked at how affordable the LEDs were when the in-store utility rebate was included. I got to the register all excited about the affordability, the cashier rang up the lighting and proclaimed "wow these are really expensive!" I informed her of the longer lifespan with a smile and made my way home. It really reminded me that even though progress is moving forward in sustainability, there is always continued work needed within addressing long-term public perceptions.

      Glad you were able to share the good news about LEDs! And, what a great reminder about the impact our work has on the consumer experience.
