Our energy footprint was not a surprise at all. What most interested me was going through the audit itself, especially as a new, first-time homeowner. Up until buying a house, I never paid any attention to what type of heating ducts we had, or whether our clothes dryer was electric. Simply doing the online audit (just 5 minutes!) made me get to...

It is way to easy for me to zone out on insta for 30+ minutes when I get home and need a brain break. I've been reading a lot more (one of my favorite hobbies) and getting a lot more satisfaction from being reminded of this challenge.

We live in such a beautiful place! It's easy to take it for granted and I've been grateful for the reminded encouragement to get out and explore.

Second, and unsuspectingly, most of the daily challenges are things I already do! Next year I might make them active challenges anyway, so I can feel good each day I live out the habit. :)...

That was so easy! Why hadn't we done that before - thanks for the nudge, EcoChallenge
