Your right. Alot of it is over the top but I have learned to take what I can and apply it to my lifestyle. Roof tops full of solar panels and automatically controlled irrigation systems that are connected to the National Weather Service are a couple examples of extremes. I now understand...

Do you get the Planet Green channel? It's all about being resourceful, eating better, living better, and recycling alot of stuff. I hate my T.V. bill every month but channels like Planet Green and the Discovery channels make it priceless. As I am writing this I am watching the Military...

Where ever my dog (female) pees the grass is dead. I, however, have no issues with me peeing in the compost. Don't think I am going to get the family to store their pee in bottles though. Why not take it to the next step? Pump your own septic and compost it!

Your not a believer? The poles are going to shift, it will be right after the next election, climate change, failing economy.... need I say more? We'll just have to wait and see. But I do think that more and more people are trying to be more sufficient because of my above examples. Which is...

T.V. hmmm... I've been seriously thinking about down sizing our T.V. Not the screen size but the satellite package. The problem with the cheap basic packages is that they don't have the real good, educational channels. I would die without DIY, HGTV, History International, all the Discovery...

We have one that is "provided" by our electric co-op. I like the light, just don't like the $6.00 a month charge for having their "provided" light. Our co-op also owns the T.V. tower. I have satellite t.v but yet I have to pay $5.00 a month because I am able to receive the signal. My dish...

A lot of cities in my area have put a ban on using these large wood fired boilers. The wording is quite creative. They say it has to be XX feet away from other structures. Kinda hard to do in a small yard. It would be really nasty if every city block had a few of these heating their...

Didn't know we could get political on this site, COOL! http://www.americansolutions.com/General/?Page=a6386a2f-6bb2-4ee5-b230-b46b54c887e4 Speak up or forever hold your peace.

Nope. Scary isn't it. In the winter we do have 2 of those electric, fluid filled radiator in the kid's bedrooms but other than that it is either corn/pellets or LP. I think that we are dumping current somewhere along the line. It isn't like we leave ever single light on and all the radios...

I subscribed to MEN because every month it has something of interest to me. I used to subscribe to a few different mags of the same content. One for poultry, one for gardening, etc and MEN seems to fill my needs. I just checked out the Backwoods Home site. Upon first glance, I think BH is a...

I was looking at wind generators and solar panels. I looked at the output of each unit and noticed they are in watts. My bill is in kilowatts. Hmmm. Then I looked at my last few bills... I am averaging 1800 Kw a month!!!! Clearly I need to take control of our family's power usage (as I sit...
