Hmm -- whatever happend to the "back to earth" movement of the "Flower Children" of the 70's; the Environment Movement; and the "Ecology Movement"?
Same old stuff now repackaged as "Going Green".
I have no objection to being environmentally sensitive (as practical) and do not believe in being wasteful.
However, the current full blown fad of everything having to be "green", carbon "foot-prints", cap and trade, etc. is a huge farce being place on everyday Americans.
Behind the scenes, it's a movement to bleed more money from us in the way of taxes and hidden fees that will have next to no effect on this guessed at "global warming" and whatever else is the current mantra.

what about the renters?
Granted I don't pay for my heat or hot water, but we do pay the electric bill for the ACs in the summer. How can renters make their dwelling more energy efficient? I can't even count how many winter nights I had the windows open all the way because it was sweltering in the apartment.
