Barb Syska 10/27/2017 1:32 PMI learned using refillable water bottles was a snap, easy to do, remembered most of the time. Turning my computer off has become a habit. I also tried to get our lights out more regularly at home, everyone helped so I think we are all practicing this one. Never did get the leaky faucet replaced but still plan on doing it. I found reading others comments pretty interesting, glad to hear others doing well, or at least trying. Hope to see everyone back next year; who knows where we will be. Barb -

Barb Syska 10/19/2017 9:59 AMSo far I am following along and remembering to do the things I signed up for. We are having a meatless day today even though I did not register. We are also turning out the lights at home, boy we are bad at leaving lights on all day. -
Barb Syska 10/16/2017 3:49 PMDoing okay with the water, have not even had time to change out the kitchen faucet, and it drips away. There has to be free time in my life somewhere. -
Barb Syska 10/13/2017 5:15 PMIt is the end of the day and I will be powering down my computer for the weekend. Hope others do the same. -
Barb Syska 10/12/2017 9:22 AMThis is going to be an easy habit, just fill my water bottle when I come in. -

Barb Syska 10/06/2017 1:18 PMI have a leaky faucet that needs to be replaced, over 4 months now. I purchased the new faucet, perhaps this will get me to change it out. It is a job for me though.
