Our Commander-in-chief had an enlightening idea for saving more energy and consequently more money for us citizens, more efficient light bulbs. I thought we had that one under control?
No, I’m serious all the stores are selling those new fluorescents and incandescent bulbs, the only problem and this they say is because of their longevity is the much, much higher price, and of course the disposal is more delicate due to the innards being hazardous, due to the mercury inside. But I really thought we were gaining on that one.
Why even we have quite of few of those new fluorescents in our own home.
We have been slowly replacing the old fashioned kind with the new more efficient ones that in the long run are supposed to be more cost effective.
So of course we would, anyone would.
It’s initially a few dollars more, but not like so many of the other cost cutting new fangled ideas like the cost of solar hot water or total solar heat and air or windmill for the home which the upfront costs run into the tens of thousands, and so why not buy a few new light bulbs we can manage that!
Actually, the other green ideas are great when building your home to be green, adding it into that first mortgage.
Conversions are extremely costly.
Now, the tankless water heater is a fairly new but somewhat cost effective idea, but for us a little too dear at this time with costs in the several hundreds to around a thousand for a whole home one, not including professional installation, they say that you will save anywhere from 10% to 30% on your utility bills. I do imagine though in the future that price too will come down, we can only hope.
We go green on things that we can handle like the rain barrels, simplicity, and cost cutting on water use for our garden, which we have not seen any lower bills yet but they are consistently the same, which means that our veggie garden that demands water regularly is not creating a surge expense, since we use the barrels to maintain their need when we are lacking nature’s aide.
Now another topic of interest to me and an update so to speak: you may recall that I was going to follow-up with a final call to the neuro this morning, well I did.
And this time I took my good old time and made the call after my shower, which I took first! Any-who, interestingly enough the doc is not writing me off or ignoring me, you see my third call produced the answer to why I had not been called back, finally…
She is out of town on personal family business that’s why they were so vague I suppose. And here I thought that she was taking the side of that billing woman who was so crude and rude in my book.
On that enlightened note I will bid you all a good night and to all count those blessings and I will too!
Speaking My Mind is about: Tobi, who is a middle aged, no, oh all right a slightly over the hill woman with all the imperfections that go with that, and this concerns her daily life's perceptions and experiences.
