Happy Earth Day

After 13 months and approximately $300 per month of saving. I am happy being green and saving green.

I am been working on minor projects and am planning on doing more one step at a time. I am still looking for projects which have relatively quick payback.

Recently I replaced most of my faucets and showheads which have already paid or themselves.

Please give me more ideas. Also, if you know of any companies looking to test next generation solar systems in southern California point them in my direction. I would love to be able to lose the electric bill entirely.

Also, I would like to go right to a plug in hybrid. Regretfully they are still not available right from the dealer yet. So,  will try to hold off replacing my car for a bit longer.
