REFLECTION QUESTION
Waste Find Local Recycling Depots

Our ability to recycle certain things ebbs and flows based upon many factors, including market demand for recyclables.

Energy Online Energy Audit

What most interested or surprised you about your own energy footprint? What changes did you make or will you make?

  I do the same thing (forgetting). I love the idea of leaving notes for myself so I remember!

  When we upgraded the windows at our last house we saw an immediate drop in our electric and gas bill from cooling/heating the house. It works great!

Couldn't ask for a better day on our last day. Can't wait to spend a ton of time outside and unplugged from screens!
