    Unplug all unused appliances and electronic devices. Although you may not be aware of it, unused but still plugged in devices, can suck vampire power from your home.

      This one is always tricky for me. I generally only shop for my son and I, and a lot of stores package things in larger quantities. You have to get really creative, which is fun.

      You got it going on every level - so proud of you and it does start at home. We need to teach our children as early as when they start to walk to make this world a better place to live ;o)
