Happy Earth Day!

Happy Earth Day Everyone! Going out to celebrate? Why not stay out longer and be a mooch! That's right -- be an energy mooch! If you've got dinner plans or just meeting someone for coffee later tonight might as well mooch off the communal energy at your restaurant or cafe!

This means less energy usage at your own home and you're using someone else's lights. You may even convince the restaurant or cafe to serve by candlelight in honour of today. C'est tres romantique, non? And while you're out, why not take an after dinner walk. You'll enjoy more time with your dinner buddy, get some leisurely exercising worked into your day, and you're enjoying the lovely outdoors!

Another celebratory idea is having your own energy-free/waste-free dinner at home. Invite friends over! Serve a nice hearty salad with some cheese and crackers over beeswax candlelight, serve yourself a glass of organic wine, user reusable plates and utensils, and opt for conversation (or read if you're alone).

Enjoy Earth Day!

Shower Power!

Want to conserve water while showering? Turn off the water whilst lathering on the shampoo, soap, conditioner, shaving cream, and whatnots, and only turn the water on during your rinse sessions. Doing that can save gallons upon gallons of water while you get squeaky clean! Maybe about 50 gallons a week more or less so you're saving some bucks on your bills. You're also taking shorter showers! Oh the things you can do with that extra time in the morning!
