Reducing Your Utility Bills, Not Your Bank Account
Once again it is the dark and chilly time of year – the time when we gag, gasp and pass out when confronted with utility bills. When it comes to energy consumption, we pay in every way possible. So conserving energy will not only help the environment but save our bank accounts from extinction as well.

Torrents to Trickles - Water Conservation Today
When I first moved to Tucson Arizona, I laughed at the fact that they called the Rillito River a river – it was nothing but a dry bed! It was just a big, dusty gorge in the ground. My laughter quickly faded when I heard tales from people who had lived all their lives in the Sonoran desert tell how that river flowed freely when they were young. Even more frightening was that these storytellers were not crusty dusty old-timers. They were my age – young professionals in their late twenties and early thirties. That meant that this river had dried up in MY lifetime. I soon learned that where the Colorado River once met the ocean was now nothing more than a muddy smear across the desert – the river no longer ran to the sea. Sure, sure, I’d heard about drought and the environmentalists had been up in arms about water conservation for years. But this was REAL. It hit me hard.
