Do you take any steps to save energy or electricity?
Asked at Massachusetts Street on September 22, 2012
“ I do ride a bike most everywhere. Lawrence is a small enough town where you can ride around everywhere.”
“I have a thermostat that you can set. I do it to save money.”
“I sure do. In my bathroom I have three light bulbs and I unscrew two. I just use them all when I am shaving and need light. I just use my air conditioner when I really need it.”
“ I use fluorescent lighting, and open windows when we can. We cut down on watering the yard.”

I was cold this morning, so, instead of firing up the furnace, I clicked on a couple of political threads. Now, I'm really hot under the collar.
