Every 20th episode of this project is dedicated to looking back and putting a hard measure on how well previous experiments have worked out. Often, when we put out a show, we have just tried something out for the first time. Many green ideas seem green at first, or seem like they’re easy at first…but later on you just find they don’t work out for you. Sometimes, the hard things turn out to be easy, too. We each sit down separately and share our perceptions of these last eight months with the camera and pick our big winners and big losers. Our points where we agree and disagree might surprise you!

If you’d like to see how each of us scored every experiment, please check out the full scorecard on our site!

We’re back from the impromptu hiatus causeed by all our friends deciding to get married at the same time. We’d like to extend our fondest congratulations to Cat and James as well as to ChrisAnn and Mark. We’ve got a lovely montage of wedding pictures for Cat and James (set to the music of their band, the musical voice of Greentime, Zen Debris), and we hope we can show you some of ChrisAnn and Mark when they get back from their honeymoon!

Amy’s in front of the camera this week, opening the viewer mailbag. Then she dives into our most recent project, reducing the water use in our shower. We’ve replaced the hilariously surreal showerhead with a more practical one that offers two kinds of low-flow options as well as a “pause” setting. Ever heard of a “navy shower”? Check out this episode and find out how to get in your daily bathing without wasting 20-50 gallons of water.
