    The weather in Albuquerque, NM is starting to feel like Spring! Finally being able to enjoy the outdoors more, which provides better opportunities to work towards some EcoChallenge goals!

    Minimize the use of hot water by using only cold tap water for washing clothes. Using my dishwasher more verse hand washing kitchen items will cut down on the amount of water used in the kitchen. Avoid car washes unless absolutely necessary.
