    Energy Choose LED Bulbs
    Switching out your lightbulbs is an excellent first step toward energy efficiency! In what other ways can you exercise your civic duty to protect the environment and reduce carbon emissions?

    I was going to change all of the blulbs in the basement over but 4 of them were already LED's. Now the whole basement is high efficient.

    I got to check out one of my friends cattle operation and talk to them about what they are breeding for cows this year and how they will look. It is interesting to see everything that goes into the process of raising meat.

    Nature Enjoy the Sunrise/Sunset
    Father Thomas Berry says, "... our primary purpose is celebration. Celebration of the dawn and the sunset and the different seasons of the year is a religious ritual, a way in which humans can establish their integral relationship with the universe, with the planet Earth." What is your response to Berry's assertion?

    I woke up surprisingly early this morning because i needed to get a lot of homework done because it has been a long week at work. I watched the sunrise this morning and it was calming just to drink some coffee and go through what I had to do today it was extremely relaxing and I would recommend.

      When you get an early start, it just feels like there are more hours in the day.
