Here in Australia we are able to elect to have our elactricity supply from renewable energy/green power. Also we get government rebates so that to supply our own energy from solar power would in real terms cost us about A$5000. At present we’re having all our lights replaced with newly available globes that give good cool lights but use only 5ws of power.
I have a pull along trolley for shopping and markets which saves on bags. I guess every little bit helps.

I work for Cox Enterprises and saw that you participated in Blog Action Day. I thought you might be interested in visiting http://www.CoxConserves.com. The site details Cox’s commitment to the environment and offers tips on how anyone can become eco-friendly.

Best,

Nickie, thanks for relating your suggestion to your pain condition, too. Finding products without artificial fragrances has been quite difficult for me, though they’re out there if you really look.

I started using a more natural company for bath/cosmetic stuff. I use a lot of Lush. They do a lot of things which make sense to me from an environmental perspective. As a side note, I find that lush is good for my pain in a few ways, one because of the essential oils which provide aromatherapy, and also because I’m taking better care of my skin, which seems to be important for RSD.

Another good suggestion. We recently changed our outdoor lights to cfl’s.
