    Packing for food is something that stands out. Realizing bags in the vegetable section aren't necessary just a habit taught by others. Not using these bags and focusing on less packaging for food in general.

      Hello Celina!
      I totally agree. The amount of plastic packaging for our food is so wasteful. I really liked when my state passed a law against plastic bags. Unfortunately, we still have them in stores but it has encouraged more people to bring their own bags.

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

    I'd like to continue working for more energy efficiency within in the home through averaging temperatures that require less air conditioning or heating. Promoting natural heat through fire places or cooling through open windows.
