As the days draw closer to the starting line for EcoChallenge '08, I've been trying to think of little ways we can conserve in a big way. A pressing issue in our townhouse is the lack of light that seems to choke the stairway and the main circulation spaces within our house. As a result of this we have resorted to leaving the kitchen or living room light on throughout the night or late into the night so that the guys coming in late won't trip up or down the steps. My solution to this problem is to purchase small key chain flashlights or small floor mounted lights that would provide enough light so that we can leave our kitchen lights off when no one is occupying that room. The small lights would give us enough light to find the larger switches if need be.
