Ron,

I still think that I'm doing my bit here. The water tanks are full and I use them for the pool and the two gardens. I keeping just ahead of the rain so the water excess is not running down the street.

I have reduced power use with the installation of motion sensors and different globes.

That are about two hundred globes now in across the stores and storage areas.

Anne replaced all the globes here at home and it has really improved the light quality and reduced costs. Her new diesel runs about 65mpg so she has a few more dollars for shopping..

The wind generators are starting to pop here a lot. There are 140 of them down the road from the Mt. Gambier restaurant. It is starting to look busy on the horizon. Most are on the ocean edge and cliffs.

I am not sure if the grid can handle the power I think they lock the blades once the grid is full.

I have stopped all watering at the restaurant and had landscapers install gardens that have low water needs.

I had better do my bit at the restaurant or I may find myself in trouble...



Bernie
