    Finally going paperless for one of my bills--has not been easy to switch--not user friendly by any means, had to call them to get help.

    I have so enjoyed this ecochallenge with my PCB coworkers--bitter sweet of course.

    I can be technically challenged, yet I managed to figure out how to disable my screen saver at home. One more baby step to a more sustainable living.

    As much as I like meat, it is surprising how much I really do enjoy meatless meals also.

    I could not even name what companies made electric cars prior to my research or that there were hybrids available.

    Until I researched about electric cars, I had not idea how much they have improved in terms of miles before a recharge.

    I had no idea how fish farming could be beneficial until I looked at seafood watch.

    I am amazed at how easily I can become too busy to not notice nature.

    It was an absolutely beautiful sunset driving west on the Columbia Gorge Sunday evening, seeing the energy windmills on hills in the distance in front of a pink sky as the sun sets.
