    With the super hot temperature today I am taking my walk inside the air conditioned big box stores.  Also participating today in PHM's two hours by not using electricity during that time.

    I use energy saving light bulbs in my lamps.  I use battery powered LED candles and flashlights when I don't use electricity during an OHM hour.

    I carry cloth bags in the trunk of my car and take them into store to use for carrying out purchases, avoiding the use of store plastic or paper bags.
