Monday, Post #5

Challenges:
Whole Group:
Turn off lights that are not needed (Reduce CO2 emissions)
Personal:
Plant something every day (Offset carbon emissions)
Don't shave (Reduce polluted water/waste)
No plastic bags (Reduce waste/use of fossil fuels)
I will take shorter showers (Reduce CO2 pollution and waste water)

It's Monday so I'm just going to do a check in on each of the challenges.
I have been doing really well with lights. For the most part our classes are light-less, and when I go home to my house (even though it is solar) I turn off lights that I am not using. It occurred to me that as we live off the grid and do not have an unlimited amount of power turning off lights has been drilled into me as a habit, so is not much of a challenge. Oh well.
I REALLY SUCK AT PLANTING STUFF, haven't even planted one thing yet. More on this tomorrow.
Not shaving is going well. My girlfriend and/or Ricia haven't yet forcefully shaved my, so at least it isn't that bad :)
Haven't really bought anything, so nothing to really say about the plastic bags.
Shorter showers are going really well, I've gotten down to about 5 min total.
