    I had all my bills paperless except for my car insurance and they are always sending me tons of paper that I immediately shred. I changed that to paperless today!! Thanks EcoChallenge for final giving me the motivation to do it.

    I did some research on used electric cars and the installation of a charging station at the house. My finds... The Nissan Leaf has incredible reviews and you can find most 2-3 year old Nissan Leaf for under $10,000. I like the sound of that.

    Since starting the eco-challenge and renewing my efforts to recycle everything I can I am realizing just how much I have been throwing recyclables away. Needless to say this has been a good reminder that I need to continue my efforts
