Re-evaluation time!

1. I have been doing a great job of turning off lights around the house, unplugging things that are not being used and also turning off the power strips! Every night I have successfully made sure our porch light is not on and all the lights are turned off. Each morning before I leave I unplug all of the electronics and switch off power strips!

2. As for the bus and walking. I haven't done that great of a job with this but I will continue to try to improve as the weather will hopefully be getting nicer. With all the rain that has been around lately its been hard to accomplish this but as you may have read in my earlier blog I've been walking home from the bars instead of getting rides and or calling a taxi!

3. I have been buying a lot of organic and local products which has been great and it tastes better anyway! The expense of organic products has been a bit hard to manage but so far so good. I could do better with just cutting down eating chicken and turkey in general so I will continue to work on that.

4. And lastly for water use! I've been doing a fairly good job making sure I'm only doing laundry every so often. I decided my goal was laundry day could only come around every 10-14 days instead of once a week. I've been wearing clothes I wouldn't have worn before and as the nicer weather has been approaching I've been able to take advantage of my summer wardrobe as well!


NEW!! 5. And as for a new commitment I want to make. I realized that some of my bills are still going to my permanent address where my mom lives. I don't ever look at these statements I just go online and/or call and make payments through the internet or phone. This is a complete waste of paper considering I don't even look at them. Therefore I've decided I will call the places I still have a couple of paper bills for and have them stop sending them and I'll just continue my internet and phone use!


- Another thing I was reading online was places you can send your old cell phones so I think if I have some extra time over the weekend I'll go through my stuff and find a couple of old cell phones I have and send them in! Its not like I'm doing anything with them, they're just sitting in boxes taking up space!
