    I've been trying to show the kids how much water is wasted if you do leave the faucet running while brushing your teeth. We plugged the sink and let the water run while they brushed. It was more the a full sink of water! Seeing that helped make the connection for them and they see why we need to turn the water off while we brush our teeth... or suggested by our smallest.. "we could just stop brushing our teeths."

    My little one usually sleeps with her tv on so last night we went and found a led night light to change that habit. Trying to cut down the energy usage!

    Last night instead of turning up the thermostat I made the family make sure they had socks and sweaters on. Once they did this they were fine and we didn't end up touching the heat yesterday!

    I am so glad we are able to go back and track our results! So far the few choices I have made to change have been pretty easy.
