    This was the most effective and rewarding EcoChallenge I have personally ever been a part of!   It was a nice bit of added motivation to keep improving on the new place I moved into last month.  Looking forward to keeping this momentum going as we continue to make improvements to this place!

    Ricky and I have replaced our window screens and are enjoying the natural breeze to cool down the upper story of our house this sunny afternoon!  Up next is to replace these old, warped blinds!

    Swapped out 4 lightbulbs to LED last night (thought I had more, but I guess not haha).  Going to swap more after buying some more while using some re-usable bags at the grocery store tonight!
