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

    Some of my lights went out and I replaced them with LED light bulbs. These use less energy and last longer.

    What was the hardest item to reduce using or cut out that is plastic? Did you find a way to do it?

    The hardest plastic item to reduce was single-use plastics. I often go to the grocery store, forgetting my reusable bags at home. In order to not use plastic bags, I keep multiple reusable bags in my car. Shopping at Trader Joe's or Whole Foods is helpful because they don't use plastic bags. But other stores still use them, so I have to remember to bring my own.
