What we've done

• Switched to all LED lights (the light is pretty nice quality)

• Eliminated natural gas uses

• Use a clothes line to dry linens (things end up a little wrinkly sometimes)

Things we are planning

• Solar hot water pre-heating (warm the water before it goes to the HW tank)

• Solar heating (solar warmed air to supplement the heating system)

• Grey water for irrigation (from the sink, shower and washing machine)

What you can do

• All those things your mom told you (turn off the lights, close the door, don't waste water)

• Recycle (we have mixed stream, just but it all in the container)

• Drink our water & refill your water bottle (save your bottled water for later in your trip)

• Walk to Safeway for groceries (you can see it from the Barn)

• Eat local (Moscow Food Co-op and Farmers Market have great local food)
