    Since I reuse bags for trash I am not too worried if I need to take one. It is usually easy to do without though

    It is hard to determine what the packaging consists of sometimes. Not all products are available without plastic wrapping either.

    I was surprised that the energy audit did not clearly display all of the energy efficient options that my home already has in place. That diminished my trust in the audit. I only had the potential to save 5%, it said, by using an energy efficient clothes washing machine. Oddly enough, I don't even have a washer or dryer! But, I do go to a...

    Most mail is hard to avoid as it is either not sent to me directly  but to "resident of" or there is no easy way to stop it.

    I've challenged myself to take 5 minute showers during the EcoChallenge for a few years now and it's always more difficult than I remember. A good reminder that my 5 minute showers are probably more like 7 minute showers.

    I am grateful for the turning of the seasons. It's a chance to reflect on change.

    I spent a day onsite at the waste water management facility in Los Angeles County and I was surprised to learn how much needs to be manually taken out of the water.  Egg shells in particular are really abrasive and can cause problems even to very large machines.
