I bought reusable produce bags for fruits and vegetables. Hoping to bring them on my next grocery shopping trip. I've continued to adjust my thermostat on the way out each morning.

I carpooled home with a work friend yesterday evening. It not only spared the environment 1 pound of CO2, but it was fun having a buddy to ride with :)
