New Beginning

Hello Everyone,

I'm starting a new blog since my Sister inspires me to do it & I thoroughly enjoy her posts.
I've been deciding on different things that impact our world & I want to reduce or eliminate my Carbon Footprint to the best of my ability. I also find that since my electricity that I enjoy is fed to me by the Power Grid, it tends to cancel out some of my footprint reduction efforts, which is NOT enjoyable.
I am going to start using LED Lightbulbs as soon as I can start buying them. I no longer wish to use the Compact Flourescent Bulbs as they contain high amounts of Mercury & I have to specially package them to be sent away for recycling, thus, once again cancelling out some of my efforts to save energy & the environment. Since the light bulbs are hazardous, which most sources refuse to acknowledge, I am trying to gently bring this to light with people whom I come into contact with.
If I ever can, I want to switch to Solar Energy & try composting in some fashion.
Meanwhile, my Cousin Andrea is considering purchasing a rain barrel & am I very pleased to encourage that. I will see if I can help out with hunting for a good one. It will capture rain water to use in the Gardens.
More next post. Until next time!
