No guilt please

Just doesn't work here. You can chalk it up to the way I was raised. Smiling

We are in the process of switching to the better light bulbs. And they were surprisingly affordable! If I remember right, about a dollar more for a 4-pack.

There are no smokers here. We are meat eaters, though. And grocery consumers, in general. Smiling

I looked into green (or was that child-labor free?) coffee once and it was not near enough to be affordable. Someone, though, recently posted about a place to buy green coffee online that wasn't too much more than dollar store Maxwell House. I should learn more about green grocery shopping.

Electric company offsets -- FPL has some sort of program for this but, frankly, I don't trust it. It sounds all green but then seems to come down to being a way to pressure the legislature to let FPL build a solar(?) plant in FL many years from now. I just got my electric bill and it is extremely low for us -- $170. I usually figure about $250. But it has been cooler and the A/C hasn't been on a lot.

OTOH, I literally have $50 to my name right now so the idea of another $12 to anyone doesn't sound sensible. Thinking of my kids, you know. They might want to eat this week! Smiling

Well, off to the park with DS. We will be driving but after that all the activities will be kid-powered! Smiling
