    I started doing 60 minutes of no screen time right before going to bed and filling this time with reading and I think it has helped me fall asleep a little faster.  Mixing this with 5 minute quick showers in the morning I think I have felt a little more prepared for the day.  I would totally recommend trying these two things together!

    So far so good, I added a couple of other daily things to do now that spring break is over and I haven't noticed any difference in cleaning my clothes after switching to cold water.

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

    Save it! I spend too much money on other things and having saved a small amount over a couple of months will add up nicely.

    Starting to get situated on here.  I think I have always done the bare minimum like using a reusable water bottle, bags, and all those sorts of things. Gonna start adopting some new things soon!
