    Light bulbs always burn out in 3s, so the EcoChallenge is a perfect time to replace mine.

    We haven't turned on our thermostat yet...maybe we can make it until the end of October?

    I took a cue from my colleagues and skipped the coffee shop this morning in order to avoid the disposable cup. I'll have to remember my reusable travel mug for future lattes.

    Anyone have suggestions for a nature area to explore? I'm familiar with most of the close-in hiking trails on the West side.
