OSC: A November Change Anyone?

Well hello November!  We started One Small Change back up in October and many of you joined me in making 1 small eco friendly change.  My personal change was to get back into the habit of hanging my laundry to dry and so far it has been a success.  With colder weather setting in, it will be more of a challenge, but I am still sticking with my goal to hang it at least once a week.  So, now that November is here, I have decided I am ready for another change.

My November change is a really small and easy change, but very important and will make a difference after time.  I am going to keep the bathroom light off.  I have a wonderful window in my bathroom that lights it up with a lot of natural light.  But I am in the bad habit of turning on the light every time I go in there.  Of course I will still turn on the light at night, but as for during the day, the light needs to stay off.  I don't need the extra light, it is just a habit to turn it on. 

My hope is that by keeping this one light off in the house during the day, we can save on electricity which will save money and be beneficial for our planet.  I am also hoping it will remind me to keep lights off in other parts of the house and set a good example for my children. 

So....how are your changes going?  Are you ready to move onto a new change or are you still working on your change from October?  I would love to hear from you...let me know what eco friendly changes you are making!

  1. Funny, I was making lunch today and thinking on this very topic: making changes, challenging the family to make them with me. Of course around here this is partially in response to our 19 year old son's 3 shower a day water habit...at least he's clean.
