Cheers Bhujangadev.

Rob, I’m looking closely at LED lighting here too. Still a little pricey, but a lot less power hungry.

As for the worm bin, try to keep it close to the kitchen.

Nice one Christina. Great advice.

Nice post Christina. #9 is particularly relevant in my case – I eat anything that isn’t nailed down
Monitoring Your Energy Usage
Tripled? Ouch! I suspect it’s more than just the heater. What other devices are in the room?

Andre, that’s great to hear (the solar devices, not the energy crisis). Hope we see many more in the next few years.

The anti-CFL lobbyists are going the whole hog to discredit the energy saving bulbs on the grounds that they conyain tiny drops of mercury, conveniently over looking the urgent necessity for reducing Global Warming. Please visit my blog for comprehensive information
2 Rob March 31, 2008 at 12:02 pm: I’m going to be looking into the LED bulb’s. Darlene and I were recently at Earth’s General Store here in Edmonton and I seem to recall some info about LED lighting. Also saw a great worm kit for $59 bucks too.

now it’s just the logistics about where to put the worm bin in our house.

One good source of info on LED bulbs that doesn’t try to scare you into buying is http://www.DonsGreenStore.com , and they have very reasonable prices ( for LEDs ) .
