I live in Southern California, and I don't know WHAT I would do if I had to live in that weather. Kuddos to you for that one. Since you're pretty familiar with living green, you should really think about investing in bioheat. Have you ever heard of it? It's very popular in the green community so I'd be surprised if you haven't. It's AWESOME! It's biodegradable and non-toxic, so you can forget about breathing in all of those nasty fumes and what not. The best part about it is that it's made up of heating oils blended with every-day products like avocado and corn. Cool right? I heard about it through my job here at NORA. I did a bit more research and found some more great tips and interesting info from: http://oilheatamerica.com/index.mv?screen=bioheat. Check it out and see what other interesting info is out there that you might be able to use. OMG Donovan!

In my opinion living green starts from common things. Reusing plastic shopping bags may look very common to us because we did it since childhood but I know people that pay for those Glad garbage bags and deposit their plastic shopping bags in them:) Very very good points in saving heating energy my plan is to have a series of posts regarding saving energy and using environmentally friendly products.

(and i dont know all the details) but basically.. how much money would you save if you were/are able to grow your own apples/tomatoes/pears/peaches etc etc...(we do that here) buy warm clothes instead of cranking the heat in winter (use blankets...its what they are made for...for the mass amounts of ppl relying on their ac when its cold or hot... all good ideas but still far too common things in my mind…my family and i have been doing all these since i was raised..always keep unsused lights off. plastic bags as garbage bags only seems like common sense to me…my mom bought some no name brand garbage bags for $2 or something around there as opposed to glad for instance…it was like $6.70 (approx) for 1/3 the amount of garbage bags..and for christ sake..its just a bloody garbage bag…as long as it holds garbage..theres a way to save, (oh btw..i hate the glad man…greedy sob)
