The Great experiment

Bowing to the book Eaarth by Bill McKibbons we as a family have decided to cut our carbon foot print again by redoing again the Great Experiment. Where we live without lights and light candles. The electricity is still on but we cannot use the microwave or toaster but allow ourselves coffee maker. Computer use is at the library where public access is and cool airconditioned rooms give us respite from not using our airconditioner when it is too hot. We are still installing the laundry line to dry our clothes. We are still using our washing machine to wash clothing and Dryer to do clothes and towels. This is kind of like camping but without alot of the hassle of setting up a tent and bringing the propain or burning wood to cook with.

The last word or is it?

Well I have not updated this blog for a while... got busy with a life and a job. We have decided to end the Great experiment for the winter while the girls started school. They need the light to study and the computers for doing their home work. The only problem with the girls is that we cannot stop them from reading. We do get requests for movies that they have send and that they want to see.

We will consider to do it again next year. We have brought the laundry lines inside and still tend to hang our laundry. It smells better.

Well that is all for now.
