It's finally winter in Indiana

We are finally "paying" for the mild fall and winter we've had so far. Temperatures over the next few days will likely fall below zero. We are more convinced than ever that we need to sell the home in Indianapolis and make it available for a larger family that can justify its size.

So what can one do while it's too cold outside to do any real work? How can one continue to promote a smaller footprint and a cleaner Earth? Here's what I've decided to do...


I have become an independent direct seller for a new program from a company called Citizenre. They will rent a complete photovoltaic solar electric system to any homeowner for a single up-front deposit. One's current electric rate will be locked in for the term of the rental, even if your local electric utility raises its rates. I'll reserve the rest of the details for those who are interested. Click on this sentence or the yellow "Rethink Solar" box to the right.

Even if you aren't interested in solar panels for yourself, please consider sharing this posting with friends and family who might be interested. Opportunities for other resellers are also available.

We now have a way to inexpensively provide solar power for Raccoon Creek Community homes without each household having to lay out tens of thousands of dollars for the equipment and to eliminate virtually all of our contribution to global climate change due to our power usage. Great!

By the way, the Citizenre unit will satisfy all of the power-related aspects of the LEED certification for homes soon to be released by U.S. Green Building Council. The LEED Rating System is the nationally recognized standard for green building.
