I recently started manufacturing the patent-pending Aquabarrel through the Atlanta Rain Barrels website. I have found it to be a great design and now people in the Atlanta area do not have to pay the added shipping costs to have a rain barrel with a superior overflow port. If you have any volume of water coming off your roof, you should really look into getting one of these barrels. Your overflow water will always go where you want it to.
I also started thinking recently about different ways to save energy or gas or whatever. Maybe I should call it “green” living. Whatever the current, politically correct, thing to call it is, I really just want to save money. The added benefit, of course, is that it also benefits the environment.
I have about a dozen compact fluorescent light bulbs around the house. Have you ever wondered how much money those expensive light bulbs are really saving you? There is a saving calculator on the Easy Web Calculators website. Now, I can finally put into dollars, what I am actually saving by keeping those funny little light bulbs burning.
I have also been thinking about the hybrid vehicles. The new GMC Yukon has a hybrid model. Wow! They are $50,000! That is a lot of gas money. I love the idea but I just don’t drive enough to justify spending that much money on a hybrid SUV…and I don’t think my kids will all squeeze into a Honda hybrid. We’ll have to stick with the minivan for now. It’s paid for and I refuse to have another car payment only to “save” money on gas.
How are you saving money?
