    I like participating in this eco challenge as it points out areas where I can realign my lifestyle to make me be a better steward of planet earth.  Now I just need to keep this focus.

      That's going to be an even bigger challenge! I like how you said steward of the planet earth, that's a great way of putting it!

    Found out the hard way that I lowered the temperature setting on my water heater too low as my shower was QUITE lukewarm this morning.  If the water had been any colder, then I could have met the Walkingspree challenge too with all the jumping up and down I would have done in the shower!

    One of my challenges is to take a walk everyday.  So today, I put on my rain gear and hiking boots and took a wonderful walk in the rain!  It was fantastic.  Also nice was seeing all the fall colors.  Great walk!
