We have car-free Sunday coming up: no driving on that day. AND the clock will go an hour forward tonight.
Nice initiative.

I didn't get out of bed till about noon, when my left leg was finally willing to move without being super painful. Does that count as saving energy? I didn't have any lights on till noon.

I turn the lights back on after the hour and dad nearly falls down the stairs.
Still, found one last room where we haven't yet changed the lamps to low energy ones.

Ashamed to say we forgot .......but we did go to bed earlier than normal so at least the lights were off then.
We're slowly working on changing out our bulbs. I really don't like the new ones, but as the old incandescents burn out, they are being replaced with the "new-fangled" ones. |
