Molly & Jim Brown, US
We:
- converted our front lawn into a vegetable garden
- built a solar greenhouse on the front of our house
- bought new energy efficient appliances, bought electric-powered bicyles (actually, one is a three-wheel recumbent model), which we use for errands around town
- installed a wood stove
- plan to install a solar hot water system soon
- will sell our pick-up truck soon, but will keep our little Ford Escort that gets upwards from 30 mpg
Eventually, we would like to install photo-voltaic panels.
