    We're having a panel of High School Environmental Club members today at Wight!  It's time to LISTEN to others and hear of their interests and concern in how we live on this planet.

    So I checked by electricity provided, AEP Energy that I previously purchased green power from.  I noticed by price per kWh had really gone up.  When I called to double check that I was still purchasing green power, I found that my contract had expired and they had been charging me a month to month rate.  Bottom line, by re-enrolling in a green purchase program, my price came down by more than 1.5 cents per Kilowatt hour!  Doing well by doing good!

    I enjoy walking to the train to and from work, it allows me to get outside even if its only for 10-15 minutes each way.

    I plan to be more aware of when I choose to print and I aim to limit the amount as much as possible.

    Helped my son and daughter-in-law landscape their new home. Planting bushes & flowers and mulching completed our project.

    Food Keep Track of Wasted Food
    An average American throws out about 240 lbs of food per year. The average family of four spends $1,500 a year on food that they throw out. Where would you rather use this money?

    Instead of tossing fruit and veggie scraps, I've composted them and bring the bag of compost to the office for composting through Waste Mangement.

    Food Learn More about Silvopasture
    Had you heard of the term "silvopasture" before now? After learning more about it, what do you think is the biggest advantage of silvopasture?

    I HAD NEVER HEARD OF SILVOPASTURE BEFORE. THIS PROCESS ADDS VALUE TO LAND USE AND PROVIDES ADDITIONAL INCOME, A WIN, WIN.
