Old Fashion Light bulbs being Phased Out for Energy Efficient Ones!

On January 1, 2014 incandescent light bulbs will no longer be manufactured in the United States. This is because they no longer meet the federal efficiency standard. The alternative choices will be the CFL's and LED's. 

Of course some of the public is upset about this phase out because now their choices are limited, however these bulbs are highly more efficient and will cause electricity bills to be much cheaper. I feel this is a good change and I am happy about the phase out.

Fowler Toads from Lake Erie Saved!!

I posted previously that in Ontario a development company wanted to construct condos on the dunes of Lake Erie which is the habitat of the endangered Fowler Toad. Well great news!! The construction plans have been cancelled and the dunes will continue to keep it's natural beauty! Thank you to all who supported the fight against the building of these condos and keeping the environment natural for these little amphibians that don't have a voice!
