It's not easy being green...

Yeah it is...... drive less, keep the air pressure up in your tires, turn the lights off, buy CFLs, use Low Flo water spickets, plant a tree, recycle, re-use, use a re-fillable water bottle, use public transient, ride a bike, turn the AC up a degree or two..... should I go on.

Or just hit this a few times........

Is that like the homeless chick living under the bridge near Fulton? . J/K with you mrL...doin my part with the cfls and some of your other mentionings. Good to see someone care a little about the environment once in a while.

Oh, don't get me started........ for the most part, I usually keep quiet about those types of opinions and influences. Dropping one here and there once in a while, I figure won't do any harm.

A portion of that motivation also comes from saving me some money. You would be surprised, I know am, how much it begins to add up, in terms of money saved.

not go keep hijacking this thread but I understand the money saving thing. Replaced all our lightbulbs 4-1/2 years ago with the 'ugly bulbs' my wife calls them and just had to replace the first one last week. otherwise replacing several a month was the norm not to mention dropping the electric bill by an average of $20 a month. Don't seem like alot but after 2 months of saving that it paid for the bulbs(had a great deal at the LocalLumberYard on these) and the rest of the savings has converted to RC .

I wasn't just referring to CFLs, more so, the whole thing......... not turning down the AC in the summer or the heat in the winter, replacing shower heads and water spickets with low flow, not letting the water run un-necessarily, not basking in the warm shower for hours, watering the lawn at night, not trying to get the best 60 ft time I could from a red light in my Cadillac Escalade (no I don't own one), and so on and so on and so on. If you do all that, then you will notice a difference.

Yep, figured the more you did the more you would notice but wanted to just mention the one item is enuf to notice a difference around my house. There are more we do but hey...this thread was about dye
