    The average American family throws away 950 pounds of food per year, and spends $1,800 on food they never eat - understanding the differences between use by, sell by, and best by dates will help me reduce my food waste and hopefully save me some money

    Kathleen inspired me to by carbon offsets for my recent trip to Colorado! $12 seems like a small price to pay for the privilege of vacation via air travel. Thanks for the nudge Kathleen!

    A first for me! Purchased carbon offsets related to my recent trip to South Carolina which was via air travel. (terrapass)

    Did you know that  Geothermal energy is reliable 24/7 because the energy is constantly produced within the Earth regardless of weather. Geothermal required no combustion and produces very low levels of green house gases.  Many geothermal power plants operate with zero emissions
