Good Green/Bad Green vol. 2 no. 1
In recognition of Earth Month, I'm bringing back the Good Green/Bad Green series I did last April. This is a way for me to evaluate what I'm doing right and what I can improve -- and publicly admit my green faults and pat myself on the back for my good green deeds.
Good Green: I signed up yesterday to bring our Blue Sky blocks up to the amount of electicity we use each month. We had only be purchashing 2/3 of the amount we use. For an increase of $1.99 per month, our home will now be 100% wind-powered. Blue Sky program from Rocky Mountain Power
Bad Green: My brother-in-law left us his car when he went on a trip to Chile a few weeks ago. We are normally a one car family, and we make do with one car by taking turns walking/traxing or careful planning. We took advantage of the ease that an extra car brings, and we've gotten pretty used to having a car available whenever we've wanted it for the past 3 weeks. It will take some mental preparation to go back to the old (and earth -friendlier) way of doing things.
