Some of the things we hav...I love this entry Ruta! Some of the things we have done include low energy lighting, turning lights off as we leave the room, unplugging all of the excess power supplies such as our chargers for the laptops, cameras, video equipment, cell phones, when not in demand. We already had recycled water long before being green was cool, for our houseplants, gardens and even for garden tool clean-up. Tall trees bless our home on the west and south sides of the house, providing shade and warmth, per season and our gardens grow all of our veggies and some fruit for our food supply for the past 30-some years. What has become a necessity for our world, we have been trying to do all of our lives, for the necessity of our own survival...growing up on a farm has given strong roots. One thing we would still like to do is to put wind generated power in for our home and cabin as well as solar panels. <br />Retirement comes next year and we want to be prepared for a comfortable one. Research is in full force. Doing without all of the electronics would suit me fine. I would, however, miss my computer. We will see what we can do about that with the wind.<br />BlessYourHeartDarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16642092433299872708noreply@blogger.com
