We are still working on switching everything in our house from propane to electric and today we are going to go get the stove that a friend of mine is giving us. We are not sure if it works, but at least it’s free and they are pretty sure it works. It will be nice to have everything moved over as electric is much cheaper then propane is and my mom hates our gas stove, so she should be happy.

So far our tank less water heater is working well, the water does go from warm to hot sometimes, but the more we run it the better it gets so it may just be us getting use to it. The bad part is we can’t tell if it’s really saveing us money because it’s electric and our old water heater was propane, it should save us a good amount though, we just won’t know how much.

I was reading on yahoo today about earth hour, an hour where cities turn of all lights to major attractions and monuments. They also encourage people and businesses to do the same. I thought that would be fun to participate in. I can live for an hour without my computer, it will happen at 11am EST and I will be turning off my computer for the hour and doing something else for that time.

Unfortunately we can’t turn off everything as our heat right now comes from a combination of electric and propane and it really won’t be warm enough to turn that all off, but lights I think we can do. I think this would work better if we all did it at night in our time zone or at least in our countries. I think it would have more of an effect that way. Just my opinion though.

Are you going to participate?
