It's not easy to post about rainbarrels right now in sub-zero weather, but as long as the environment is something we can think about and do something about year-round, here's a tip for this month...If purchasing electronic items such as TV's, DVD players, game systems or computers for Christmas, look for the "Energy Star" label. These will use up to 50% less phantom energy than other models when turned off. Better yet, plug those devices into a power strip and turn it off after you're done using the item--save even more! Save on your pocketbook and save on energy.
Oh yes, have a very merry Christmas and a wonderful and safe New Year!!
