    When I started this I thought it was going to be harder but it ended up being pretty easy!

    Still going strong today! This has been an excellent change for my family and myself.

    It is hard to work on my challenges every day, I forget about them. This weeks I couldn't go to the farmer's market in Moscow

    Did you know you can check out energy meters from the Lewiston City Library?  You plug it into the wall then plug in something like a cell phone charger or a lamp and it will tell you how much energy is being used when plugged in!

    I traveled to the East Coast for my 20th reunion last weekend and packed a whole day of food with me for my trip.   I didn't buy anything on that travel day.  It was wonderful saving the extra money and not creating more waste on the travel day.  When drinks are served on the plane I often ask for the whole can of sparkling water and skip the...

    I have been using reusable bags when I go to the store. This has been beneficial to our budget as well as the environment. It keeps me from buying too much at once. I only get what we need since I have limited space in the bags. It's been a bonus because we have less food waste and less trash too!

    I have bought a few travel mugs and I started using these regularly. I didn't realize how many coffee shops are perfectly fine with filling your own mug instead of using a paper one from their shop. All you have to do is ask.
