Thanks for the tips, love! We already have the energy efficient bulb throughout the house. The next steps (as it is an OLD house) are insulation - can't afford it at this point - and solar - which we can apparently lease or rent.
So, solar it is! *grin*
The communal vegi garden will help in a lot of ways too as it will both supplement our food intake (in the healthiest, most organic way possible!) and provide for more sunshine time and good old fashioned yard work.
Thomas Jefferson said, in 1781 "Those who labour in the earth are the chosen people of God, if ever he had a chosen people, whose breasts he has made his peculiar deposit for substantial and genuine virtue. It is the focus in which he keeps alive that sacred fire, which otherwise might escape from the face of the earth." And on 1785 Aug. 23 in a letter to John Jay, "Cultivators of the earth are the most valuable citizens. They are the most vigorous, the most independent, the most virtuous, and they are tied to their country and wedded to it's liberty and interests by the most lasting bands."
