Don’t get me wrong energy tax rebates are a shining example of our government working to create a cleaner tomorrow but there are a few things to know about them, I picked up after talking to the tax man. So in 2009, my family installed a Energy Star rated heat pump unit. Basically, these work as both the heater and AC with a fan unit up in the attic and a condenser... Read More
I would bet anything this photo was taken somewhere in Arizona because of the abundant sunshine and the turquoise sky.

It's... Read More
Yesterday was the true showing of people going green. As soon as I stepped out of my apartment complex doors and started walking down the street, the color hit me from every angle possible. Cars drove by waving green streamers, people wore green clothes, green balloons hung from the grocery store cash register and a diner patio and the pub, well that is a place going green... Read More
I have really been doing my best about going green these days, as I try to do my part to try and stop the effects that global warming is having on our planet. There are some things I have already started doing with my going green efforts, like turning down the heat in the winter a few degrees, and turning up the air conditioning in the summer a few degrees.

Technology will be the answer to many of the world’s pollution problems. One could say that technology got us into the predicament we are in now and I’d agree.

January 2010 was one of the cloudiest we have had in Phoenix in years. We had chilly weather and lots of rain, and when I got my electric bill I almost croaked. We had to do all our cooking in the house because it was too cloudy to cook in our solar ovens outside. We had to use the stove and oven and our electric bill sure reflected it. Solar cooking is not only a big... Read More
For the last couple of years my husband and I have been talking about installing some solar panels on our farm. We were having a hard time with the costs for electricity and heat as we were expanding our barns and livestock. I did not realize the amount of electricity that it would take to run some chicken incubators and milking machines. In talking with other farmers... Read More

It is that time of year again to pay Uncle Sam and look for a new place to live. With the lease up at our apartment in the coming weeks I’ve started browsing the classifieds and this Sunday will be driving around looking for, “For Rent” signs.
