two weeks in Canada....

new puppy, daughters visit... yada, yada, yada

Not on solar here... just $$$$ Ontario rural rates
No bomba... regular water flow

Still.....
I flick off lights... won't stream water....
a myriad of 'conservation' techniques we all live with daily in RD

My carbon footprint would shame Prince Charles....

honestly, if the 1st world followed these power saving habits/rituals.
it would be a better place

just saying..........

Like WW, I bring my DR habits home with me. Never leave the water running for any reason - especially brushing my teeth. Shut lights when leaving a room, etc., etc. It's habit forming!

Other way round, I imported the technics from europe with me.............. just that it is not for the same reasons here in the dr........ ( save the planet vs necessity ).

Being the one who has always paid the bills I have always turned off the lights, TV, radio and never left the water running while in Canada. The first few years while renting in the DR even though electrical was included I used ceiling fans and only the ac when it was hot and muggy. I have seen many taps left running and electricity flowing in the Dr while out and about
