Living part two! Yes we are back with the living green. Yes as in living like Kermit the Frog he did say "It wasn't easy being green". That statement has never been more true.
Sometimes when thinking green you think solar panels or wind energy. But there are alot of different ways to live green. From driving slower to changing out unefficient light bulbs with energy saver lightbulbs.
Some changes are harder than others but any small change can add up over the years by saving our enviroment.

I see a couple of easy changes that can be done readily and without problems.
1. Changing out lightbulbs out with fluorescent light bulbs throughout the house. Not only does it save a year in in your electricity bills but you also save the enviroment.
2. Putting a computer to sleep is also easy and won't cost you anything unless you run the pc of course :). Usually PC's have an option to make the monitor fall asleep and after the computer thus saving electricity and your wallet.
Some of the other items I may have a hard time doing. For example here in Houston we feel the heat. If it was a dry Arizona heat it wouldn't be problem but no, we get instead the insane mix of humidity and heat. Not keeping the A/C running makes me and my computer sad. I can't live without it being on and my computer being so hot can't either. But I think having the air condition at 78c can be done and can save alot of electricty. I will have to install a ceiling fan to compensate but it'll be all worth it.
