Turned off!
Today, May 16, has been deemed Turn it off BC day as part of 30 Days of Sustainability, deemed to be an annual celebration from April 22 to May 21 that raises awareness and aims to integrate sustainability into the values of citizens, corporations, government and society. We are being encouraged to turn off and unplug all those unnecessary appliances and lights in order to collectively create an awareness of wasted resources and power. So, today, I'm going to leave all of those lights off that I don't need and also do my best to stop wasting power.
The only problem with days like this is that, as many of us work and study using computers, we are unable to switch those off for the day because our employers wouldn't go for it. We could do this on the weekend because many of us don't really need to be using them when we don't work and we'd just need to turn it all off when we are having those days off. I don't know. Anybody got any ideas?
Here's hoping that you have a great day. Please remember, that if you're not using it, turn it off!

Alec and I are both out like 12 hours a day during the week. Does that count? But sorry to say, we just put new sod and sprinklers in the front yard, there goes all the water. As for me, I would just absolutely love desert landscaping with barrel cactus and succulents. But he doesn't that! :-/
I think I want my own pad! ha!
I suppose that you being away from the house for such long periods of time, that'd certainly help. Yesterday, I heard that some restaurants just had candlelight in the main areas in the evening. Sounds a wee bit romantic as well.
I have a friend that suggests that for landscaping, we just leave them wild. As far as I'm concerned, that would make things way easier...
Lately, we've been seeing more and more rooftops that are growing. There seems to be an interest in having grass & other flowers growing in sod on the top of people's houses. I hear that it's good for the environment but it also helps to regulate the heat and cold in houses. It makes homes cool in the summer or warm in the winter. And it looks plain nice...
Robert, is your area near a desert? I'm sorry to say that I don't know much about your area but I imagine that there could be dry areas in California.
