If you live in New England, chances are you have your pellet stove blasting just to keep warm inside your home. The outside winter chill doesn't give New Englanders much of a break when it comes to heating their homes.
One simple way to cut back on fuel consumption is to wear an extra layer of clothes. A good polartec, silk or wool base layer helps to keep you warm and dry by wicking moisture away from your body. Be sure to add comfortable layers on top for added warmth. A wool sweater or zip up fleece is a great breathable insulator. A vest can function to warm your core, while allowing your arms ease of movement.
This might be the easiest way to minimize heating costs and be environmentally friendly. So next time you a feeling a little cold, try layering up.

When Kirley Masonry and Stove Emporium launched its new website just over a month ago, green energy has appeared as a recurring theme. We believe in a cleaner, greener way of living. We want to share ways to go green with you. Many of our blogs include simple ways to go green. Today we want to share with you Massachusetts’ latest Energy Rebate program that begins July 28, 2011.
Massachusetts is offering a rebate program for air conditioners and refrigerators. New ENERGY STAR® appliances reduce energy consumption and costs, helping reduce ozone pollution in the environment. Consumers will be saving money on their purchase and on lower energy bills, putting savings right back into their wallets.
What’s the catch? To receive the rebate, consumers must be replacing their older air conditioner or refrigerator with a newer, more efficient ENERGY STAR® model.
The program offers a rebate of $50 for air conditioners and $150 for refrigerators. But hurry, with a limit on funding, rebate money could run out real fast. Funds ran out in less than 3 hours when a similar program, Great Appliance Exchange, was offered in Massachusetts last year. So hurry up and save!
Last week, we experienced near record breaking high temperatures. Temperatures soared up to 102 degrees on Friday in Mansfield, MA. Who didn't have their air conditioners blasting?
Sometimes air conditioners are a must, especially in the heat of summer. Learn what can you do to make sure your air condtioner unit is efficient when you need to cool down. You can save money and energy by following these simple maintenance tips.
Clear the outside air conditioner units of brush and vegetation so they can breathe, but keep enough vegetation around them to keep them in the shade.
Shaded A/C compressors use as much as 10% less energy electricity than the same unit operating in the sun. Keep some of the "shade advantage" by planting leafy trees or shrubs that shade air conditioning units but do not block the flow of air.
In the fall and spring, turn off the power to the air conditioning unit. For added safety, shut off the switch at the circuit breaker. Rinse with a gentle stream of water from a hose. Additionally, clean or replace filters, clean the A/C condenser, and check the coolant lines according to manufacturers instructions.
Keeping the unit clean and clear gets the A/C unit ready for the next cooling season and makes it run more efficiently...conserving energy and saving you money.

The Cult of the Big Green Egg - United Tastes
Devotees say that meats cooked on Big Green Eggs — the egg-shaped ceramic grills called kamados — are more moist and succulent.
“I was a Weber and briquettes kind of guy,” said Michael Barry who has prepared everything from turkeys to apple brown betties on a ceramic cooker in his San Rafael, Calif., backyard. “But then I heard about Big Green Eggs, and then I cooked on one, and I never looked back.”
Read the complete excerpt from the New York Times.
Keep it Local, Keep it Fresh. Tis the season to eat fresh, delicious locally grown fruits and vegetables.
Buy produce in season and from your local region. Support local agriculture rather than importing products from another region. This saves on shipping and transportation, reducing the environmental impact and costs of transporting product.
You are also benefiting and supporting local growers and it will help promote self-sustainability. Often knowing the farmers who grow your food is an added bonus. Most of the money spent on local production stays in the community, supporting the local economy.
You can also visit a Whole Foods Market near you to find a variety of local products.
For the freshest fruits and vegetables, try planting your own garden. Don't have the space? Try a container garden!
You might be greener than you think!
Are your appliances energy efficient? Will you be purchasing any appliances soon? Many stoves, refrigerators, washers and dryers can be found with the energy star label. Eneryg Star is the trusted, government-backed symbol for energy efficiency helping us all save money and protect the environment through energy-efficient products and practices.
Do you use reusable bags for shopping? Did you know that a single plastic bag can take up to 1,000 years to degrade? You can minimize your usage of plastic bags. Reusable bags can be purchased at grocery stores for 99 cents!
Have you adjusted your thermostat to save on fuel in the winter? You can save around 10% a year on your heating and cooling bills by simply turning your thermostat back 10°–15° for eight hours. You can do this automatically without sacrificing comfort by installing an automatic setback or programmable thermostat.
Are you opening the windows instead of running the air conditioners in the summer? Let the fresh air in. Enjoy the smells and sounds of the outdoors.
Being eco-friendly helps to protect the environment around you. Going green effects the air, water, trees, animals and your health. The healthier you are, the happier you'll be!

How will you be celebrating the 4th?
The 4th of July has become a huge tradition for us. Every year, our family gathers at Gramma's house on Bungay Lake. The day begins early with decorating the boat for a silly themed boat parade. Past themes have been sports, cavemen, and Mardi Gras. This year's we are going to fall back on the good old red, white and blue, a recurring theme that allows us to be green and recycle from previous years.
After the parade, the children will swim and play while we grill on our Big Green Egg over natural lump charcoal. We will be grilling chicken breasts to serve over a fresh summer salad loaded with fruits and vegetables.
The evening will be topped off in the boat watching local fireworks shot off from many homes around the lake.
The Bungay Lake Fourth of July celebrations are one of North Attleboro's best kept secrets.
While we are making strides toward energy Independence by recycling our supplies for the parade and using natural lump charcoal rather than gas to grill, how will you be declaring your Independence this Fourth of July?
