My challenge actually started on the night of October 2nd when my husband and I went out to dinner and I received a water and requested no straw. I have a couple stainless steel straws at home but forgot to bring them so I felt that I shouldn't ask for a plastic straw. Now, I need to remember to carry my reusable straws in my purse from now on.

I'm so happy to be getting a solar system installed at my house in (hopefully) the next 2 months. It's in the permitting process now. We decided on a system that will cover approximately 70% of our total annual energy usage (pretty much our average monthly use minus the AC use in the 3 summer months). We will also be able to back up 4 circuit breakers with a battery backup in case of a power outage (we had two 8+ hour and several shorter power outages since moving to our home 4 years ago). We can also use the stored energy daily when the utility prices are the highest. I'm excited to get it installed and operating!
