    I made some really positive changes for the environment and for myself this month. I've also continued with many of the things I set as goals last year during the Ecochallenge. I look forward to challenging myself to hold the course after this challenge!

      It’s chili in Ohio today. Frost on the ground. I hope my magnolia tree survives. 44 degrees and sunny right now although it feels like 34 degrees. Suppose to get to 60 degrees. Have a wonderful Sunday everyone.

    Another way to conserve water: Only flush when you must.
