Personal consumption, Do you help produce some of what you use? Options

[Denise]

We all know how much we consume daily, especially when it comes to food and power.
What I want to know is how many of us produce some of the things we consume.

We use solor panels for our power and have a garden with many edible goodies. Every bit helps!
Do you hunt or raise your own meat, have a garden or fruit trees, use solor panels or a wind turbine, etc.?
We would love to hear about it!

The only kind of ice cubes I would make outside are the decorative type.
If you fill a balloon with water and add food coloring like red or blue, tie the baloon shut and let it sit outside overnight. The next day remove the balloon from the ice and you will have colored ice that looks like huge colored marbles. Wala! You have just produced natural colorful yard decorations. Looks really cool when you make a bunch in different colors.........the kids really love them!
