Oprah's Going Green Show

I like to tivo a lot of shows during the day to see if there are any good topics worth watching. Yesterday was Earth Day and Oprah did her show on going green. It was very insightful and I wanted to share some of the information about making your home a "Green House." You may also read the full article by clicking here.

3. Weather strip your windows and doors
4. Use drapes to heat and cool your home

6. Use a smart power strip
