I have been reading a bit about green construction, and green living, and green (yada, yada, yada fading away…)

Let’s see. I changed my lifestyle in part so that I wouldn’t have to drive an hour to work every day. In doing so, I cut the number of miles I drive by quite a bit. I also cut dramatically the amount of time I spend sitting around with the engine running.

I’ve always felt that 78* in the summer for the A/C, and 68* for the heat in the winter was appropriate. But, is because I’m cheap, and it just seems that when I am out in the 100*/100% humidity Atlanta summers, coming in to 78* feels just as good… and it doesn’t slap quite as hard when I have to go back out.

I turn off lights when they aren’t being used.

I keep my tires properly inflated.

I insulate. I caulk. I don’t water… ok, I rarely water the lawn. My truck is usually not THAT clean. I don’t over-mow my grass.

Of course, on the flip side… I Jeep.

But, then one could argue that it is the ultimate recycling project.

But, back to the good side, I’ve always recycled. In fact, I practice what s called pre-cycling. When buying things, we look for items that will be easily recyclable, or can have a second life in some other way. As my son would say (quoting Builder Bob), “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.”
