Homegrown Energy Tip #1

Can anything as frivolous as a cushioned toilet seat save energy and help save the planet? Well, yes. In a cold bathroom, a soft toilet seat has the superb virtue of not feeling like it was carved from a block of ice. So you can turn down the heat without feeling like you’re in an outhouse on the North Pole.

    It's no wonder I hate winter so.

    Do you suppose they carry these seats at Ashfield Hardware? Maybe special order?

    Janet has a birthday coming soon. Mum's the word, eh?
