    And coincidentally the morning of the end of our challenge, I received the filter I bought for the kitchen sink. Finally ridding myself of the scam that is bottled water for the first time in several years.

    I've been drinking tap water for the better part of the last three weeks for the challenge. I think I've consumed less than two bottles of water cumulatively in that span. I cut back on sports drinks significantly too, just as an eco bonus.

    The heat retention in my home that was the bane of my existence during the heat domes this summer continues to serve me well with the Eco Challenge.

    Haven't used in water bottles for nearly a week now, and haven't had to adjust the thermostat yet today. Also haven't driven for the past five days. I had a virtual doctor's appointment Friday.

    Since we began the Eco Challenge, I have been using significantly less water bottles. Usually I go through at least two just in the 75 minutes I spend exercising every day. In the past month, as a household, I believe we've gone through less than one case of water, which is a pretty drastic decrease.

    Been sufficiently warm without using the thermostat for approximately 24 hours now.

    I've been neglecting to check in, but my challenges have still been going well. Had to finally start adjusting the thermostat, but I digress.

    No a/c and the thermostat has been off for almost a whole day in accordance with one of my challenges. As far as driving is concerned, the next time I believe I'll have to travel any length is to the pharmacy on Thursday. I'll be walking and taking the bus instead.

      Oh wow! If it gets cold, it's more important to stay healthy...I keep my thermostat set fairly low. Thanks for starting early, Daniel!

    Pleased to find that I already do many of the things possible, after a brief perusal. I chose my challenges, and I plan on adding more when I better figure how many I can balance simultaneously.
