"Living Green" has become a common term or pop phrase, especially living here in the great North West.

Replace standard incandescent lightbulbs with compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFL's) and save 75% of lighting costs. Unplug electronics, battery chargers and other equipment when not in use. Taken together, these small items can use as much power as your refrigerator!

I hope you'll remember me if you learn of anyone moving to "The OC" and I will do the same!
