There are so many ways we can do our bit and reduce expenses that it can be daft not to. Did you know that 50 years ago people homes averaged 18deg C and today they average 22deg C? And yet people surveyed then and now "feel just as warm". For no improved perception we waste money and energy heating our homes. Put on a jumper!

Thank you for addressing issues revolving 'the three Rs' and what no one cares to think about, such as flood insurance. Most people who don't even try to be informed hear about Reducing, Reusing and Recycling inevitably through the media, but other things such as writing letters to our state's legislators are so crucial.

So many people who claim to "go green" would never in a million years frequent a place that was selling quality, second-hand clothing, for example. And regardless of the source of global warming, not wasting energy simply makes sense and is valuable insurance for the future of the planet. I like all of your suggestions! Jerry I agree.

Those companies can write anything on their bottles- doesn't mean it's true. I think the vast majority of products that are "eco-friendly", really aren't. It's all a way to make money for them. It's just so amazing how you can make such a huge difference without spending alot. I wrote about this too on my post. Great job!
