We're working out tails off trying to insulate and seal up this old house enough to qualify for a green energy rebate so we can get geothermal when we replace the furnace this fall.

We no longer buy water in bottles. It was a fairly big step since we used to buy CASES of water. Now we refill our stainless steel bottles.

We have been trying to remember to bring our own bags when we go shopping, and we turned the air conditioning down at night and when we are at work.

We just set up a water barrel to use for watering the flowers and garden. We are looking at solar panels and weighing the cost against how long it will take to pay it off.

We have been using tote bags for our grocery shopping, and we also try to turn off all lights/appliances etc that are not being used.
So far, so good- our energy bills have gone down a little bit.

To be Honest, I am not the most environmental person.
Yet I DO go green when It save me $$! So I've become an "outlets-off" nagger in my home.
The computers,lights,cell phone chargers...plugged in they STILL add to using energy when its not even needed!

We recently moved into a new place and my husband has repurposed two old barrels that he got at work and installed them as rain barrels. They work beautifully and we still get to water our brand new veggie garden even when the city puts us on a restricted watering program.
Thanks for the chance to win!

We are being MUCH more conscious of our electricity use. We're unplugging certain things when not in use, and also hanging clothes outside on the clothesline to dry rather than using the dryer. Saves electricity and the clothes smell great! : )
