I have an energy-saving tip for you. Electronics such as home appliances, chargers, games, printers, and computer equipment can be plugged into power boards that are easily powered off when they're not in use. To use less energy after showering, towel- and air- dry your hair before blow-drying. Clean or change your furnace and air conditioner filters regularly, since dirty filters block airflow and waste energy. Also, place lids on cooking pots and utilize heavy pans or iron skillets to retain heat. Swap out your standard incandescent and even compact fluorescent lights for LED bulbs – they last up to 25 times longer and use only 1/10th the energy. You can also adjust your curtains and blinds to allow sunlight and heat in or out appropriately. We can all be heroes and help save the planet!

“Did you ever have a problem with appendicitis?”
“Yes, Doctor, I sure did.”
“Really? When was it, because I didn’t see it in your medical records.”
“Well, at school, I had a big problem... when it was on the spelling test.”
?!
And now we have a heartline from Stella in California, United States
