Freecycle community on line, share your stuff, don't throw it out; solar installation - no electric bill, but we are careful, we aim to use
water twice - and when I rinse dishes, the plants get a drink, solar shades on sunny windows,amazing! Whole-house fan, it pulls air
from the windows and takes the hot air out the roof; we are off all mailing lists...no junk mail...cook and serve in same dishes; unplug
anything not in use, we are looking at 'on demand'heating units, replaced our toilets, limit shower time, do full loads of wash,
one hybrid, took up biking locally, shop local, joined a food coop to support local farmers and enjoy organics! we talk about what we can do and buy more energy efficient modelswhen we replace items.

Two biggies: Ride your bike! Eat locally!
