Last weekend my grown son was home for our autumn family picnic. I pulled out our Coleman water jug and his chin fell on the floor. “That thing predates me!” he exclaimed (he was born in 1978).

On top of the cold weather outside, it’s a rental house – so there is only a minimum amount of things I can do to make the house itself more energy-efficient.

Most people do not enjoy their daily commute to and from work. In fact, many hate it even more than wasting all day at a job when they could be out having fun and enjoying life.
