    decided to walk to my buddies house today instead of driving. It extended my communute a good bit but it wasn't that bad once i was layered up under my rain jacket.

    Found some empty Gatorade bottles and decided to wash them out, fill em with water and put them in the fridge for chilled water whenever I want it without needing to go get some ice.

      Reuse is good, but don't reuse them too long! Single use bottles do degrade over time and eventually leak phlalates.

    Brought my reusable bags to Fred Meyer and didn't buy or use anything packaged in plastic today.

    Decided to do the days dishes by hand tonight after dinner and am not sure how much water I saved but I know it was a few gallons compared to the dishwasher.

    Not flushing the toilet everytime is something I have done a little bit before but I decided to take it a little farther for the challenge, kind of choosing to flush once  I can smell urine standing over the toilet. Brushing my teeth without having the water running is very easy, everyone can easily do this and should really only be using water to rinse out their mouths.

      Hmmm...putting the lids down could help? :D

      You could pee outside to reduce the smell! If possible where you live. :)
