    It's a positive experience. It really makes me more aware of things, like running water too long and buying items in all that packaging!

    As a Communications Specialist/PIO in Land Use & Transportation, I am a Sustainability committee member, Energy Team member, and Employee Giving Campaign liaison. I will have my first grandson in January and I've become much more aware and thoughtful about the future of our planet. I think our society would benefit from applying a "less is more" attitude. This challenge has given me specific goals and I'm very excited about it!
