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! -------------------- Education is the key to the future,

Winters heating bill is covered (paid for) and sitting in the yard now.
 Just in time, snowed last night and temps have been down in the 20's at night.  -------------------- Education is the key to the future,
