Most companies allow you to choose where your energy comes from on their website. For only a few extra cents a month, one can use wind, solar or clean coal- generated electricity. Clean coal, of course, is not as clean as wind or solar, but it can help to reduce oil dependency all the same. All these tips are wonderful, but some of us need to step up and make the big changes, like switching energy providers or sources. They are just as easy and so much more helpful.

Once you make the decision to be a good steward of the earth and all that the earth sustains, there is a joy that comes with making a difference. I feel great when most of my garbage goes to compost and recycling because I feel in step with the world, not a consumer OF the world. When you are in step, there is a beauty you are blessed with that only comes from serving others. I hope this is a joy and beauty everyone experiences someday. "You may say that I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one I hope someday you'll join us And the world will live as one" -John Lennon Like everything, the experience of something depends on the attitude you bring to it.
