Green is a choice that I make every single day!

Here are some green choices you could make this week:

*Visit the local Farmer's Market
Local produce is fresher, less likely to contain unwanted chemicals, and uses less resources to bring it to you.

*Choose organic veggies
Support growers who care about the planet and respect your health at the same time.

*Bypass the drive-thru fast food with the styrofoam containers and take your own lunch
Those containers take many lifetimes to degrade, and are toxic to produce, not to mention that you will save yourself the chemical exposure.

*Grow your own food
The ultimate in green! If you don't have room for a garden, consider growing your own herbs, wheatgrass or tomatoes.

*Install a water filter or collect rain-water (I'll show you how in another lens), or find a spring
Save the landfill from having to accept any more water bottles. Save yourself, again, from unnecessary chemical exposure.

*Select clothing made of natural fibers, grown organically
Wear it as long as you can, then use it for rags, and finally compost! A complete circle!

*Replace incandescent light bulbs with florescent.
Be sure to recycle the bulb that are still good. I gave mine to Habitat For Humanity. You will save electricity, and won't have to change them for years.

If we can do it, you can, too.

What it requires:

Careful Planning - Get to know your power consumption.

Cut Your Current Consumption - Install fluorescent lighting, Install an On-Demand Tankless Water Heater
(preferably gas), Place switchable surge suppressors on major ghost-power drains (like TV's, Computers, Stereo Equipment, Microwaves, etc) - By doing these things, your system will be smaller, which equals less up front expense. More tips here.


Calculate your system size

Purchase and Install: Here, you may want to hire a solar electrician. We did install all of our own systems, however, my husband has an electronics background, which came in very handy!
