REFLECTION QUESTION
Energy Adjust the Thermostat

Your utility company is able to tell you your average energy usage. Ask them how your energy usage compares to others in your zipcode, and in your state. What other steps can you take each day to reduce your electricity usage?

REFLECTION QUESTION
Waste Use Reusable Bags

What do you do if you find yourself in the situation of needing a bag for items but don't have a reuseable one with you? Carry things out in your hands? In a cart? Accept a disposable one? If you find yourself in this position often, what system could you put in place to try to establish this a successful habit?

I have carried things out in my arms LOTS of times. I have the reusable bags but always seem to forget them. I will store them closer to the front door and maybe post a little reminder for myself on the fridge!

I learned that there are orders in place to eliminate the Clean Water Act protections which protect over 2 million miles of America's streams. 61,200 miles of them are in Oregon. This is bad news for both us and wildlife. It means more pollution can be dumped into our rivers, streams, and lakes.
