    I enjoyed this activity.  It is nice to have more awareness in things that you don't really think about every day.

    I have thoroughly enjoyed riding the light rail to work daily.  It is a time to just chill out and read.  Time that I don't necessarily have at home taking care of the family duties.

    The smart thermostat is great. I am able to program it not to run when no one is at home, which is nice. Looking forward to a lower bill as I continue to make power smart changes in my home.

    Changing lightbulbs is an excellent first step toward energy efficiency! What's next for you?
