Well, it's another Friday. I'll be spending my weekend in the Sandhills of Nebraska, canoeing down a river by day and star gazing by night. Beyond flashlight batteries and gasoline to get there, I'll be going pretty "green" for the weekend - tent camping, using an outhouse, and powering the boat by my own strength. And there's something so refreshing about breathing real air instead of re-circulated air conditioning.
I found some tips on how to reduce the amount of air conditioning you use and lowering your energy costs. Some ideas in this article include using fans, planting trees that cast shade on the house, installing energy-efficient roofing, and programing your thermostat so the AC doesn't run as much while you're away at work all day.

Happy Outdoor Weekend!
Hats Off!
