REFLECTION QUESTION
Energy Switch to Cold Water

What do you plan to do with the money you save from making more energy efficient choices?

Ciara Doyle 10/15/2021 9:47 AM

I'm not convinced that switching to cold water will save me enough noticeable money, but maybe! But I normally spend any extra cash on food, so eat more delicious food. But overall, switching to cold water for laundry is not something I've ever really done, so I'm going to give it a try!

REFLECTION QUESTION
Waste Use a Reusable Mug

Maybe you've heard how good it is to switch from a single use coffee cup to a reusable one, but it's just hard to make the switch. What stands in your way of making this a habit? By identifying the challenges, you can begin to work through them to have better success in taking this action. Knowing the difference you are making, how does it make you feel?

Ciara Doyle 10/14/2021 9:43 AM

Working from home has definitely helped me kick the habit of getting coffee to go! I also bought a milk frother so that I can easily make lattes and fill that craving at home. If I'm feeling fancy, I'll put pie spice on top. I am still not great about avoiding the to-go cup if I do end up leaving the house for a trip or something like that.
