The environment has always been under debate in our household. We are not natural Eco minded individuals even though we live in California. It's not that we don't love Mother Earth, we just haven't spent the time or effort to really make it an important aspect in our lives. It can be a bit overwhelming if you try to wrap your mind and arms around it all at one time. We'll that's changing.

We remodeled our kitchen last year and designed and installed it ourselves. We put in special drawers in our pantry one for garbage and one for recycling. How easy is that? We have no excuse not to separate our garbage now. Ok, its a small thing, but every little thing helps.

Recently, I was in line at the grocery store and the man in front of me was buying 10 light bulbs. They were all the energy efficient kind and when his total came up on the register it was just $2.50! I couldn't believe. I was always under the impression that the energy efficient bulbs were so expensive. It turns out that our Energy company here PG&E has been sponsoring a program to buy the bulbs for practically nothing! I got out of line and purchased 40 bulbs for a whopping $10.00. I went back the next day and bought 40 more. When you are a stager and put up to 25 lamps in each home you need a lot of bulbs.  I came right home and replaced all the lamp bulbs in my house and brought them to the warehouse and had my crew replace every lamp bulb in the place, and will be going back for more.

This is just the beginning. That little bit made me feel so good I am going for more! I haven't stopped reading for weeks now and its only getting better. The plan is now in the works for getting Green Certified in my business which I will of course, market to my clients and help them do the same!

Little changes do big things!
