  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Transportation Walk Instead
    Half of all trips made in the US are three miles or less; 72% of them are driven. Do you feel that this fact applies to you? If so, how might you incorporate more muscle-powered transportation in your daily life?

  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Energy Choose LED Bulbs
    Changing lightbulbs is an excellent first step toward energy efficiency! In what other ways can you exercise your civic duty to protect the environment and reduce carbon emissions?

    I had been replacing the older incandescent bulbs and florescent tubelights as and when they fail. However this challenge period has made me replace 4 of them at a go! I have kept the older ones as backup and not thrown away. These will be used as temporary arragements when the LED replacements are warranted for.
