What R U Doing to Conserve?

Here it is, the answer to soaring gas prices!! My Bicycle!! Unfortunately, I work thirty miles away from home and cannot ride my bike to work.

However, I have made some adjustments on the amount of gasoline I use. I no longer go out of my way to Walmart if I need something. I now go to the General Dollar or a store that is on my way home. I don't make a special trip.

I also have always bought in quanities to keep from going to the store that often, so I am continuing this practice. I buy five or six pkgs of toothpaste if I run out, same with deodorant, soaps, bleach and the things I use on a daily basis.

I now starch my own uniforms instead of sending them to the cleaners. I go see my mother in Oklahoma every two weeks or once a month instead of every week. I haven't went out on the boat since the prices have gone up. I am not planning to go as far on vacation either. I will probably stay right here and plan a fun time with family and friends.

I am trying to look at every avenue to conserve energy. If we all take individual responsibility, perhaps it will help. We as Americans can be very wasteful.

I was listening to the news last night at 4:30 am and the report was ... electricity and gas for our homes may go up as much as seventy percent. Wow! I don't know what the single mother or a person making minimum wage will do if that happens.

So I want to do my part to be conserve energy. If any of you have any other ideas to conserve, pass on your tips here, I want to save in anyway I can.
