saving something...

after our electric bill was yet again $150 - high by our standards since it is winter and we arent using the a/c and we live in a 2 bedroom apartment- we decided to try the whole unplug the tv, computer etc when not in use. we are hoping to lower our electric bill with the added side effect of helping not pollute the earth. oh wait- we already switched to wind power insead of coal power. thanks green mountain energy. it is generally more expensive but not so much more that it isn't worth it. so we are trying-and mostly succeeding in unplugging at least before bed if not when we leave the house and when we aren't using it. i will keep you updated to see if it works. we started just after we recieved our last power bill so we should see by the next bill. we actually just have powerstrips thet we turn off which is supposed to be the same as unplugging. so we will see...
