Changed all lightbulbs in the house!

Status: 
Complete
Description: 
Completely replaced all lightbulbs in the house with energy efficient SmartBulbs. I have also been keeping a watchful eye for things plugged in around the house that dont need to be. I have been doing small things like turning off my pc speakers and unplugging the coffee pot or even opening the blinds instead of turning on the lights. My efforts have been rewarded with a lower electricity bill and peace of mind.

About Time

Status: 
In Progress
Description: 
I guess it had to take a movie( when all i couldve done was go outside) to make me realize that there wasnt enough time and resources left out there for our future kids and grandkids, least, ourselves. But today Im going to sart consciously greening my lifestyle. Not just an after thought or a back of head thing, but an effort to cut the crap I throw in and take in from this planet. I think more than complicating things with this effort, I think its more of simplyfying my life and living in my means..and im actually better off doing so.

Doing the small things

Status:

Description: 
At the moment I already try to do things like conserve water and energy (unplug electronics I'm not using, turn lights off etc), recycle, changed a lot of our bulbs to CFL (although I feel guilty tossing lightbulbs that haven't burnt out yet just to replace them), buy organic when possible, try not to waste anything and so on. I also bug people I talk to about going green as much as I can, and it seems I've rubbed off on a few friends. I want to do more though, it doesn't feel like enough.
