    Going well! I identified 9 more lights to change out to LED. 2 incandescent 50w bulbs, 4 incandescent 75w bulbs and 3 40w CFLs. I also read some guidence from NYSERDA on energy storage, this article from the guardian on potential drought in England in 20 years https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/environment/2020/mar/25/parts-of-england-could-run-out-of-water-unless-urgent-action-taken-report, and this article that highlights poor water infrastructure as a risk in the COVID-19 pandemic https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2020/mar/22/water-saving-an-important-but-ignored-weapon-in-solving-climate-crisis-says-un

    Good! I have caught up on information regarding the local push for a CCA in my area, read through some documents regarding NY's Clean Energy Standard and read an article on the new environmental regulations included in the NYS budget. I changed out 3 40w CFL lights in my new apartment for 5w LED's which will save ~230kwh over the next year.
