    The Ecochallenge was a great way to reconnect and re-emphasize the things I do to reduce my carbon footprint and to live in a more sustainable manner.

    Enjoyed this year's Ecochallenge! Think my favorite was exploring a new nature area. Recommend Maple Trail in Forest Park for some great fall color.

    With the Eco Challange coming to an end I noticed one of my One-Time Challenges had not been done, so I completed immediately.  I would never of done that otherwise.  It has been a fun few weeks.

    I turn the thermostat down at night before bed, turn it up before my family gets up, and turn it back down when I leave for work. We also use lower watt and high energy efficient bulbs for lighting or during the fall/winter, I also like to add candles around the house for lighting/coziness.
