Hello Team,
We've lost one of our dear friends and rallyers. She dedicated her life to making the world a better place. We love her and miss her and will forever be grateful for all her contributions.
Here's to you Beverly! May we carry on your work and make you proud

I all. I love this team! Thanks for the good discussion here about when to accept challenges. Strictly speaking, Carbonrally asks you to accept challenges for new things/behaviors. But, it's really up to you how you want to use the system. Some folks like to accept challenges for activities they already do, to motivate others to join them. We are also working on a feature that will enable folks to account for things they already do in a different way. Thanks for rallying!

I thought about what to count and not count, when a challange asks for "more" I do more, when a cahllange just says "do" I count it even if I have already been doing it. I can not for example increase the A/C set temp by 2 degrees every week and still use the A/C so I use my judgement about the "spirit" of the challange and take credit for being an eco minded consumer. This is not really a rocket science, just a fun little reminder program.

For the veteran Rallyers who have already done much in their personal lives to lower their carbon footprint: here's one thing you can do: rally newbies to the cause -- go Benicia Eco Saloners

What to do when you are already doing it? like air drying your clothes? that's a good question-- Erika and I pondered this. I think we should count all our efforts --- as individuals we have always been ahead of the curve; as a group we are doing very powerful things. Erika thinks we should only count new things that we haven't tried before. For you and Erika, that doesn't leave many challenges available. I will leave this decision up to you all, but in either case, you rock!

What do you do when you're already doing the challenge? My wash rack and I are old friends and I love my garden. I hope to get my drip system back up on the north side of the house. It's so much more water friendly and I'm really bad at remembering to pick up the hose.

I just took the Veggie Garden challenge and shared my favorite 'lazy gardener' tip. Here it is again...
Water is an issue in CA. I set up one good sprinkler, established the best pattern and planted in the wet zone. Easy! Its April and we’re seeing chard, tomato babies, beans, squash, radishes, cukes (will grow up the baker’s rack), carrots & herbs. I’ll fill in the rest with strawberries.
Anyone want to help? Jan has my number - or find me at mernie.com or on facebook.

You don't have to tell Carbon Rally when you have completed a challenge. Carbon Rally keeps track and sends you an email message. When you finish one, they ask you if you want to re-do or take more new challenges
