Greening Your Home
In honor of Earth Day on April 22, we offer some suggestions for making your home a more environmentally-friendly place. This does not need to entail hardships on your part, nor does it always require work. One way to start is by attending the meeting, where we will learn how to create,
maintain, and use a rain barrel. Another is to replace your normal light bulbs with compact fluorescent bulbs, cutting your energy needs for lighting. FPL also offers a free inspection for your home’s insulation, and incentive programs for energy efficient appliances. More information is
available at www.fpl.com.
Living green also does not mean you have to have a huge tract of land to implement changes and grow your own produce. For inspiration, visitthis website, http://pathtofreedom.com/, showing a family who has made it their goal to become independent of power and sewer grids, and grow most of their
own food (and extra to sell to local restaurants) in suburban Pasadena, CA.
Happy Earth Day!
