Thank you for accepting my Grasscycling lens to your group. It's a pleasure to be here. As a groupmaster myself, I know it's a lot of work, but I hope you'll add all of us and our lenses to your page one of these days. It's so much easier to be a good group participant when you see the icons and can read the lens intros. (I know we can go to the ugly orange list, but it's just a list and not as friendly to use.)

I'm down in New Zealand,
One thing that amazes me about 'Green people' is that we dont use energy that is given to us, Why??? Maybe we don't understand???
Our roof is the driest and often the warmest part of our home, I'm using less energy, and I've got a drier home. Look at www.hrv.co.nz
