So nice to get my utility bill and have a credit. Thank you A and R Solar and thank you sunshine!

Late day, seems like we just started too! I wish everyone a successful year continuing what we started here.

Just one more day. This challenge has been fun. I hope we can all keep up our great work and have another challenge next year.

A leak that drips 10 drops a minute equals a gallon a day. A faster drip can be up to 330 gallons a month!

I didn't have the schedule to attend an Earth day event like I did last year so I am planning to clean up my garden and work on my compost bin.

At work I notice in the breakroom and stat labs and restrooms that the faucets drip. I turn off the drip each time I see that. My dad worked at the water company in Oakland for 30 years and we learned all about how many gallons are wasted by little drips.

When I am on the floor in the hospital or in a room, if I can consolidate masks into one box or gloves, then I fold up the empty boxes and bring them down to the bag in my area. Also, time permitting, I will fish out cans or bottles from the nurses station and drop them in the recycle bin in the pantry on that floor. I am a little embarrassed to do that with a bunch of nurses and maybe doctors there but I tell myself, They should be embarrassed to throw away a valuable resource. Afterall, each can recycled saves 4 hours of electricity. I also heard that we throw away enough aluminum to rebuild our air fleet.
