Trimming the Fat at the Grocery Store
After spending some time looking at the household budget and the household waistline, I decided it was time to cut the fat. Ok, well, it wasn’t the household waistline, it was my waistline, but either way the fat had to go. One way to trim the fat was to take a long hard look at [...]
What’s your Carbon Footprint?
Your carbon footprint is measured by the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) your lifestyle produces. Things like driving a car, heating your home, use of electricity all produce carbon dioxide. The amount of carbon dioxide you produce over a certain amount of time is your carbon footprint. Keep in mind that your footprint includes your [...]
Consumer World- A Great Consumer’s Resource
If you have not done so already, I strongly suggest that you take a look at the Consumer World website. In addition to looking through the website, you should sign up for their newsletter. Consumer World has a fountain of information that everyone who buys anything should be aware of. As a result of a [...]
Save Money on Car Maintenance
This week I decided to look for the impossible and improbable. The economy is down the tubes, people are being laid off from their jobs and living green, for many, is being put on the back burner. If people would only recognize the fact that if we all instituted green living habits from birth, there [...]
Turn It Off and Unplug It
The other day I was watching the Oprah show and there was a woman who saved over $200 a month on her electric bill just by unplugging her electronic devices when they weren’t in use. Shortly after watching that show, I received an electric bill. Hmmm, time to do some trimming. Immediately I went around [...]
Old Cell Phones – What to Do with Them?
I read an article the other day that people spend more money on cell phones than they do on landlines. That’s not very hard to believe. Think about your own household. How much do you spend on cell phones and how much do you spend on landlines? More than just the monthly or annual expense [...]
An Oil Faux Pas Teaches a New Level of Oil Conservation
I’m not sure if it’s more energy efficient or not, but an oil oversight caused me to become even more oil efficient than I usually am. Here’s the scoop. I have a difficult time reading my oil gauge. For some reason I panic every time it gets to the 4th level indicator. I always think [...]
Happy New Year
Wow, I took a look at this blog and am ashamed of myself. BLULOW has all but fallen off of the face of the blogging map. I’ve been very busy on other projects and have neglected this one. I guess I’ve spread myself too thin. Although posts have not been added here regularly, I’m still [...]
Don’t Let the Gas Price Dip Change You
The momentary dip in gas and fuel prices is no reason to return to your old ways of over consumption. Keep conserving. I’ve got to say, I do enjoy looking at the new and improved lower gas prices when I pass a gas station, but I can’t help but shake my head in disgust to [...]

There’s no reason to forgo the Christmas decorations this year because you vowed to go green. You can hold to your resolution to live green and decorate your home with environmentally friendly, energy saving solar Christmas lights. Here’s a neat article on what to look for when shopping for solar lights. Check out: How to [...]
