How Green Are You?

[RICHARD]

When I see that the batteries in the remote controls are getting down to the end of their life-one remote has a red light that flashes to let me know the batteries are dying!- I put in fresh batteries and save the old set to use in my wall clock!

There is enough of a charge in them to keep a low voltage clock going for a few months!

Check it out!

-I drive a hybrid car (no, it does not use electricity!),
-we installed low water usage toilets,
-use cloth napkins instead of paper at the table
-I take reuseable bags not only to the grocery but for any shopping - department stores, etc.
-We are replacing light bulbs as they go with energy efficient
- we recycle as much as we can
- we have a programmable thermostat but have not turned on the heat or air conditioning more than five days since we have lived here (something good about SoCal...)

Hey, does one get "green" points for the fact that I shovel instead of using a snow blower? One should! And, if we shovel at the right time, we don't need to use salt or ice melt later, depending on the storm, of course!
