Name 3 things you do to earn "green points".

1. keep heat at 60 F in winter, and wear a sweater and slippers
2. changed most light bulb to the low watt type
3. minimize my driving as much as possible

Yes, I buy the florescent "Greenlite" bulbs. However, I can't tolerate 60 degrees in the house even bundled up.

Actually right now I am a prisoner of my environment. Normally I try to put all the recyclables in their right places. I try to keep most of the lights off. I, however, stand in the cold most of the day so that furnace is going up when I get home.

I don't have the money to invest in it, but I am really curious about Nikola Tesla's theroy on a magnetic repulsive motor that works on perpetual motion.

I'm sorry blues

I heat with wood.

Is that good or bad?

Wood is renewable resource. That part's good.

But what about wood smoke? Is that bad for the atmosphere?

I don't believe it is. dunno

Wadda ya think?

I also work from home a lot so I don't burn gasoline.

That's good right? thumbs up

You are forgiven - and I hope burning wood is OK because I am enjoying my fire tonight. wine

I am certain it works but it would bankrupt the electical companies overnight along with the oil industry. You would be killed for that reason alone. So much greed in the world. Especially in the world of those who have the power to make things happen.
