    This ecochallenge stopped me from procrastinating on my walking, instead of using the car to go get the mail! Good for the planet and my health!

    Is there some way to include the CO2 I saved by going solar? It is not showing up in my profile. Thanks!

    I installed 7.5kw of solar panels at my house in April. That will reduce over 16,000 lbs of CO2 per year over its 15 year est. life time.

    So they installed the panels and now we are waiting for it to get hooked into the grid. Supposed to be happening Thursday.
