Green Blog
I found this blog via the terrapass e-mail that was in my inbox this morning and wanted to share http://fivepercent.us/ . The guy lives in Newton, so some of the posts are relevant to being green in the Boston area.
I'm pondering getting one of those home energy meters but I'm still on the fence. At some point though I'll schedule a free energy audit through our gas company. I know they are going to suggest insulating (I want to look into how expensive that would be and think of possibly doing it in the fall, savings willing). I think though, perhaps I should pay off my car first.
Somewhat related, we're going to cancel our membership with Just Dairy - I love the raw dairy but for the amount that we drink and the rising costs of membership and goods we can't rationalize it in our budget. I know that you can freeze raw dairy, so I'd like to look at options in picking it up from the farm ourselves - anyone want to brainstorm on working out some kind of arrangement like this?
