    AEP, a huge power company, is letting people go because of profit being down due to people using less energy. We are supposed to conserve electric but then people lsoe jobs and rates go up.

    We started recycling a few months ago, there was a local recycling place that lets you drop off recyclables for free and we had no idea. We also are going to buy cloth diapers for our next baby, it will save us tons of money.

    I am doing anything possible. I teach my children about recycling, littering, planting trees, flowers, and our own vegetables. They really want to help and they fully understand their impact! I feel they are truly what will save our future.
