NW Natural

Cayuse, Umatilla and Walla Walla

I love noticing the plants in neighbor's yards and now the holiday decorations. More sidewalks would improve safety on my walks

It's the final day! Let's finish strong NW Natural!

Keep warehouse doors closed in the winter and summer

Congrats to everybody for completing the Eco-Challenge! I hope people learned a lot during this challenge and continue to be sustainable in the future!

I'd rather it go into a savings account and then at the end of each year use that for something I wouldn't normally spend it on. Fresh herbs are a big, expensive problem, can never use all of it (e.g. a recipe calls for such a small amount) before they go bad. Need to start freezing them in ice cube trays for future use.

Avoiding using the furnace or AC (when applicable) whenever possible is a monumental way to save energy. Keeping blinds drawn/windows closed during the day in summer, wearing warm clothes in winter.

Mother nature has the best box of crayons

Saw this post "How does knowing the difference between use by, sell by, and best by dates empower you to make better decisions?" and thought it was a good way to remember to use your ingredients as I always forget about some of the stuff I have until it goes bad.

Changing to LED's, turning off lights in rooms not in use, using a smart Thermostat, reduce appliance use, proper insulation.
