Last night I was cleaning the kitchen after dinner per the usual nightly routine and the Mrs. and I started talking about conserving energy and buying organic stuff. Now we're not paranoid or conservative nut jobs by any measure. However, with three little girls looking up at us, we just feel that it is important to do our part to pass on a cleaner and better off world to them. So we agreed that we're going to replace our incandescent light bulbs with compact fluorescent ones, start to recycle, and if things work out financially - going off the power grid and using solar energy. I've actually been researching that and we can generate more than enough free energy to power our house from day to day, save some in reserves, and get a reverse power meter to actually sell excess energy to the electric company. How cool is that? It's expensive to do so I'll have to figure it out but it could be a huge selling point on our house if we sell in the next X years.
"I really want to go green!" the Mrs. said enthusiastically.
"Noooooooooooooooo mommy!" replied Emma. "I want you to stay the color you are. I don't want you to be green."
Emma you are precious. We love you very much.
