    I chose to try the "Turn it Off" and "5 Minute Showers" challenges, and they're going very well. I do my best to turn off appliances, electronics, and lights when I'm not using them, but it's easy to forget sometimes. It's also a challenge with roommates because I never know when they turn the appliances back on to use, or they will keep the lights on a good portion of the day. As for the 5 minute showers, it's definitely a challenge. I admit that I usually take pretty long showers so it was hard adjusting.
