As we celebrate our national heritage of breaking thru tyranny and oppression to find freedom, its impt to not just think historically but also personally - what I can do to be more independent of a systm that has run amok with spiking gas prices, food of dubious quality coming to us from all over the planet, our ridiculous support of mid-East conflict through our voracious oil appetite. Here are some simple things you can do to increase your energy independence - be open-minded there are lots more:
Hang Your Clothes in the Sun to Dry - Clothesline Freedom
Ride a Bike to Work - the ultimate lean green machine = Gas Station Independence
Sign up for the renewable energy option on your electric bill - - Foreign Oil Independence - it puts wind, geothermal, solar and hydro electrons into the grid - creates the demand for more of this development instead of the default - mining for coal, oil or natural gas. To sign up go to CL&P’s website - it only costs about $5-10 per month to offset much of your household energy demand.
