It's Easy Being Green

A hot spot to discuss living life while going green

Happy Earth Day!

Posted by Nate On April - 22 - 2008

Here are the last four easy green tips as we celebrate Earth Day:

17. If you’re replacing windows, use energy saving models.

18. Plant trees next to your home and paint your house a light color if you live in a warm climate. If you live in a cold climate, make sure the trees are deciduous, meaning they lose their leaves in the winter so the sun can shine on your home to warm up. Also make sure to paint your house a dark color, attracting more heat absorption.

19. Be an energy activist. Setup recycling programs at your school or office.

20. Stay informed about environmental issues. Write your local congressman or woman and keep track of their voting record. When you know they’ll be voting about an important issue regarding the environment, make sure you let them know how you feel.

Saturday around the half-acre homestead turned out to be quite busy and a fun one to boot!  Today was pickup day for our monthly take of our grass-fed meat CSA run by Stonewall Farm.
