I got a flyer earlier this year about using our rooftop to host solar cells. Our local energy company Florida Power and Light has a program to net meter the solar energy.

“The struggle to save the global environment is in one way much more difficult than the struggle to vanquish Hitler, for this time the war is with ourselves. We are the enemy, just as we have only ourselves as allies.” – Al Gore

The saving environment is one of the most-liked content here at OCAAT. I am happy to see such awareness for the environment. Also, I tend to think that social media is spreading good habits in the masses, making this planet a better place to live. Once I posted on Facebook about buying reusable shopping bags for grocery, it went viral and amidst 20 likes and 17 comments, I think at least a couple got inspired and bought reusable shopping bags.

Earlier, I posted 25 ways I am contributing towards saving the environment every day. While I am at it constantly, I tried listing the possible ways I can help save the environment. The topic is such serious that I decided to write about it again, even though OCAAT is a personal finance blog.

Spring is here and summer is just around the corner. If you’re a northerner, you might be welcoming the heat since it’s been so cold for the last few months. But, when the weather warms up, guess what also spikes? You got it – your electric bill because of your air conditioning unit.

Beat the heat with fan

We are beating the heat with fan

I was born and brought up in India where we grew up without AC. AC was luxury for us. Naturally summer months were not pleasant at all. Perhaps readers from Arizona, Texas or Nevada can understand how it feels like to be without AC at 110 F temperature.
