SO MANY GREAT IDEAS
So many people like me on this forum...LOL
What I have truly changed since starting here and this forum kicked my butt into moving farther ahead!
use less energy. I cut my power bill dramatically. CFLs, unplug phantom stuff, use less heating etc. etc.
Got a backup propane fireplace that needs no power. I am so glad I got this little fireplace. It is just peace of mind knowing I can live and not freeze!
I stopped using my dryer. Anyone who knows me very well, knew I would be buried with my dryer along side me..HA HA.......so to give up that dryer and put up a clothesline was huge for me! Granted a rope between 2 trees but it is amazing how well I adapted---lol----something I thought I would never do, but did cause of this forum, I gave hanging laundry a try and am fine with it!
Just be more aware of everything in general and striving to use less and less and be more happy in general!
BUT those 3 things I did cause of this forum really....they pushed me to try and accomplish each of the above and I did it!
SO WHAT have you all truly changed. It might not be much, like my list above, but I am sure on my way!
