Ed Begley Jr.

Tuesday, July 1st, 2008

Did you catch Ed on Larry King last night?  He only got a few minutes of air time at the end of the show.

He suggested that we each try to do the small things to save the environment and we will save some money along the way.

He brought a “real” perspective to his ideas by readily admitting most of us average folks can’t run out and buy a hybrid because the gas price went up.

Make a small adjustment today to save a little energy.  Walk to the store if you can.  Turn off you electronics that are using phantom power, turn up the thermostat during the day.  Find a little way to save energy and cash and try making it a habit.  I’m with ED one small change at a time is the only approach most of us can take.

Ed also had some really cool looking “plastic grass”  someday maybe I can afford that.

4 Day Work Week

Tuesday, July 1st, 2008

Utah is changing it’s ways and most state employees will be on a 4 day work week schedule.  They want to save energy, and reduce the carbon footprint of the state offices.

I hope more states and companies follow their lead.  Again I point the US Post Office, think how much energy our country could save if they just went to a 5 day work week.

Do you work a 4 day work week?
