Celebrate Starting Monday…or Earlier

March 14, 2015 Comments Off on Celebrate Starting Monday…or Earlier

Monday begins a week of national observance that is extremely important, notably to Americans living in the West.  March 16-22, 2015, is National Fix-a-Leak Week.  Each leaked-away drop of water is precious, especially to those of us living in a drought.  (In our area, we have only one year of water left in storage, and our groundwater is quickly disappearing.)  Even if you live in areas that saw too much wetness this winter it’s important: when you pay your water bills and taxes, and if our drought suddenly decides to move in your direction.

To learn the facts and figures  of losing water through leaks, how to detect and fix leaks, and related information, click on http://www.epa.gov/watersense/our_water/fix_a_leak.html.

Then become part of Fix-a-Leak week starting Monday.  Or, hey, it’s a weekend.  Why not start today?

Pretty Cool!

May 1, 2013 Comments Off on Pretty Cool!

I’m a cool green now, thanks to my son, Mark.  He helped arrange a new heating/AC device for our house–a Panasonic model with split units so we can heat/cool our living-family-kitchen area or just our master bedroom. My power bills are proving that it’s efficient, and I’m really enjoying the comfort. (Note: until this was installed, I was anti-AC for my home.) It was fun, too, because a film crew from the TV show “Designing Spaces” came to my house to interview Mark and demonstrate the unit.

I don’t mean this to be a commercial, just a reminder of how easy it is to help yourself AND the environment at the same time. See what I mean by viewing the short video from the TV show at http://www.designingspaces.tv/show_segment.php?id=1162.  At the same time, you can “meet” my New Jersey son, Mark O’Donnell.
