More stuff we've done:
installed dark curtains on our windows to keep the house cooler

I was able to get a 4 day work week most weeks.

Two days a week I take light rail to work. It takes about a gallon of gas to get to work & back. Light rail costs $4 round trip which is less than 1 gallon of gas (plus saving on wear & tear on the car)

We have a CSA & have been using every bit of it. My husband is a SAHD so spends all day Sunday making big pots & pans of things we can eat all week & that I can take for lunches.

I always take a lunch to work. It seems like everyone there eats out, but I bring my little lunch in my cooler bag!

We turned the AC up to 76.

We turn out computers & electronics off when not in use.

We make sure we have @ least 3 errands bundled together before we use the car & plan our route to save as much gas as we can.

That's some of what we're doing, & it feels good!
