As a Queenslander it seems I dont like darkness - I always forget to turn the lights out!
I am going to put yellow post-it notes on lights and equipment to remind me to switch off - until it becomes a habit!

I buy too much water in plastic bottles: it takes a lot of energy to get the bottles to me in the shop. I am going to take a proper bottle from home from now on.
