My boyfriend and I have decided that we need to start doing more NOW.  So, three nights a week we turn off all the lights, tv, etc.  and enjoy eachothers company.  We cook our food by BBQ or just a eat raw meals.  Then we read or play games by candle light.  This is just a start, we are aiming for 6 nights a week, saving one night for new knowledge and media that will aid us in spreading this change.  Imagine if everybody in your town or city started using 1/2 as much energy in thier homes NOW by doing this in the evenings.  It would make an incredible difference.  Not only in our carbon footprint but also in the quality of our lives.  Our families would be closer, we would know eachother better, and to be able to entertain ourselves is a quality that our children are loosing very fast.
