    Went out to explore the Mt. Hood National Forest yesterday.  Fall in definitely in season - made for an easy way to "Go for a daily walk"  :)

    Anyone feel super motivated by the competition in points between people?  I for one LOVE competing so this has really pushed me to "do something" as a daily goal towards thinking green-er.

    I'll admit.  Eating in silence isn't ideal.  

    I think eating while being outside is something doable.  Combining 2 tasks into 1 goal. #WinWin

    Enrolled yesterday in PGE's Clean Wind program!  Pretty cool "being the customer" for a change.  I'll be at 100% offset + about 14% extra going back into the grid as their calculator suggested.

      It was weird, but definitely glad I'm doing it.  It wasn't even that much more.  

      Gives me some ideas to share with others who are thinking of signing up.

      Woo! Awesome job. I agree that it's weird "being the customer," when I signed up with PGE's GPP it felt weird, since I'm usually the one signing people up!
