Four Ways I'm Greening the Luidhardt Estate

My brother-in-law works at Glacier National Park in Montana.  He sent me a link to Do Your Part for Climate Friendly Parks a couple of weeks ago.  Check it out.

I was happy to find out that I do a pretty good job already meeting their 15 Greening Steps.  I already have Energy-Saving appliances, limit my driving (my commute is from my bedroom to the office), use a push mower, keep my thermostat at a reasonable temperature, and have energy-saving windows.

In fact, it looks like I'm more green than Al Gore.  I feel really good about myself.

Admittedly, however, I need to do a couple of things better:

1. It's time to upgrade my light bulbs.  I've got a lot to change anyway.  I'll be installing the new Energy-Saving version.  I hear they'll save me money too so no complaint here.
2. It's time to tune-up the car. 
3. Unfortunately it looks like I can't purchase any green power in my neighborhood.  Those darn Electric Co-Ops!
4. I need to recycle more carefully.  Republic (my carrier) has a spotty record actually picking up my recycling so I've been sneaking some cardboard into the regular trash.  Bad Bad Kurt.

Careful, Kurt. A global warming tax may be placed against you if you don't make those improvements in a timely manner. Oh, and don't forget to inflate your tires! :)

Yes, Obama is convincved high pressure, hot air will solve the energy cost problem. So pump up those tires.
