    I've gone out of my way to reduce my carbon footprint on this planet. My gas bills are on average $20 a month and my electric bill just topped out at $43 because my new, energy efficient (17 SEER) air conditioner had to run because it got into the 90s. I'm unfortunately stuck with a car that averages 26mpg highway for another year, then it's onto a hybrid so actually, we CAN all do a little something to save the environment. Most of the time it's the little, non-expensive things that make the most difference.
