Mike and I have talked about wanting to "Go Green" in our house... but since we drive a diesel truck, and with no end it sight of a hybrid dually truck - we can only go "LIME" green.
We are starting off with small things - like changing to energy effecient light bulbs, reusable grocery bags, unplugging applicance that we aren't using(like coffee pot or toaster) or not running our heat all night...last night we bundled up and did not turn on the heat...okay I made Mike turn it on when he left for work since my nose was running and freezing. But it is off again this morning.
One thing I did see on Oprah (Mike is not a big fan but I told him just pay attention to the green part), was to have a "Home Energy Audit". I called Edison and they gave me the number of the contractor that they use - (800)278-8585. You need your So Cal Edison bill handy- they come out for free, give you a water saving kit, 6 light bulbs, and do an survey with you to determine usage. Then 2 weeks later they send you a final report. Mine is schedule for Feb 8th - will keep you posted on my results.
We can all do our part to save this wonderful earth God has given to us.
