    It's a lot harder than I thought to cut showers down to 5 minutes, but it keeps me moving quickly throughout my morning to get out of the house on time. :)

    I'm looking forward to doing the Eco Challenge this year.  I found it was really helpful last year to keep myself accountable.  And it helps keep me aware of my everyday activities and what I can do to help minimize energy, etc.  I make sure to turn off lights when rooms have been left on, I make sure to watch for recyclables.
