Energy fasting is choosing an evening where you don’t use energy in your home. For example, not using any electricity for the entire evening by not turning on lights and burning candles instead. At first I thought it would never work because I have a four year old and a husband, 3 televisions, 2 computers with 2 monitors each and frankly I don’t know if I can go without my TiVo for one night.
After I installed recycle bins upstairs (in addition to the ones already in the kitchen) I noticed that I had cut the garbage in half. I understand that energy fasting only requires some simple planning. I need to prepare our dinner before dark, get out the candles and find a good book. I will post my findings after next week’s energy fast. I wonder if it's as simple as it seems?
