LOL, Staci! I meant eat REAL cheese, not the processed crap! LOL

I think this is where the almost-tired expression 'footprint' comes in. I am not going to live without my electricity either. I do read, and use a lamp to help (compact fluorescent). My computer and peripherals are on a power bar - and turning that bar off after pooter is shut down has made a difference in my power bill, and hence consumption.

My goal is to spend less energy and money than is created for me. There are various charts out there to "measure" that, but none of them are really finite.

The old "need vs want" dilemma? I heard a great new version of that - DESIRE vs want. If it is something I truly desire, that adds a value - and it is not an impulse buy.

Our own national broadcaster, CBC, has come up with OMAOG - One Million Acts of Green. Anyone can post - here's the link: http://green.cbc.ca/
