Weekly Green QuoteWe never know the worth of water till the well is dry.
~ Thomas Fuller, Gnomologia, 1732 ~

Weekly Green TipOlder showerheads can use three gallons per minute or more. New, efficient models can use two GPM or less. Also look for showerheads that deliver water in multiple small streams, rather than a fine mist; they keep water warmer and make rinsing easier. Avoid designs with multiple heads that compound water waste.

Supplement Your Heat with a Wood Pellet Stove
Supplement Your Heat with a Wood Pellet Stove
Pellet stoves are vastly more efficient than traditional fireplaces or woodstoves, and produce very little smoke and ash. They are easy to install in many settings, and don't require a masonry chimney. They use a little electricity (to run fans and controls), and slowly burn wood pellets that are made out of recycled, compressed sawdust that would otherwise be thrown out by mills.
