Posted in Going Green
Just popping in here. Life on our little Tennessee Homestead has gotten a bit busier this week with Frank heading to Georgia for a new engineering job and the kids and I left to manage the home & farm! But I'm trying to keep up with some blogging!
I found a calculator at the U.S. Government's Energy Star website to help you determine if you should replace your old refrigerator or get rid of an old freezer to save on your energy usage. You can read about the calculator on my blog
here.
I'm also trying to get more info on our experiences living with solar power so check back now and then to see what new info I have up!
Happy energy saving!
Kristin Hoffman homesteads with her family in the hills of East Tennessee and blogs about alternative energy, family farming, and home schooling with her husband at www.solarfamilyfarm.com. She can also be found keeping the home fires burning!

May. 9, 2008 - Energy Star Ratings
We have been living off-grid for almost 4 years. But oh, how I remember the faces of the store clerks as we checked and rechecked the energy star ratings on every appliance we bought when we built. It truly was humorous as they thought we were nuts and off our rocker when we explained what we were doing and WHY we HAD to have THE very best energy star rating possible. Thanks for the trip down memory lane :-) - - - Brenda
