I also want to add that in spite of my planning to go on a cruise (which I almost feel guilty about) I am doing what "I" can to try and live green and be a good steward to the earth in these difficult times.

1) I take my canvas bags to the stores - (forget sometimes but getting better)
2) I drive a fuel economy car
3) I replaced all my bulbs with flourescents - BUT - found out about mercury and I have removed a few and will probably remove all flourescents - (mercury scares me !!!)
4) Make fewer trips to the store (really doing well with this one)
5) Was considering getting a bicycle to ride to store for quick trips but too much leg stiffness..
6) Turned my hot water heater down
7) Try to keep lights off

I need to uplug everything when not in use i.e.. TVs, toaster and stuff - but I am not being good on this one yet... I'm trying to learn and do better...
