We take family walks with our dog Otis daily.  We have headlamps (even my 3 yr old) so we can be seen in the dark.  We have small trails around home that we often visit in the summer and fall months.  Winter time is a little harder to get outside but my son LOVES to be chased around the house so this keeps us plenty active.  My dog barks at all of us while we run around.  It's total chaos. 
I also often run with friends.  I have been running half marathons for 10 years now.  While I think I might be retired from these long runs, I still make Sat morning dates with my friends that are training and go on some short to mid length runs.

I haven't eaten meat in 30  years.  However I have recently started a more plant based diet including way more fruits and veggies.  My husband is now also eating WAY less meat as well.  We have much for energy and our bodies are beginning to heal

Turning off lights has been a bad habit for me since I was a kid.  My mom always yelled at me.  This challenge has kept turning lights off on the forefront of my mind and I have been SO much better about it!  It's such a small and simple thing but it does make a big difference.  Shutting down my computer is also something I never do as I always have tabs and tasks open for the next day.  I have learned to  make folders and set reminders to help me shut down and save that small amount of energy.

We are on gas in our home.  We actually just installed a new energy efficient hot water heater.  Our heating and air condition unit is new and also energy efficient.  We installed central air into our home a few years ago and invested in a zoned unit to help save on energy costs.
