From Guest Blogger Emily Jones: Investing in Home Electricals – Save Money on your Energy Bills, and Make your Home Greener
Energy use in your home is the first port of call for you to reap the benefits of energy efficiency.

I met Bruce Wilson when we were in kindergarten together 57 years ago at a Quaker school (Penn Charter) in Philadelphia. In the course of the 13 years that followed our initial introduction, culminating in our graduation in 1973, he impressed me in several different ways. The first time was immediate and profound. When we came back from summer vacation into first grade, I noticed that he could read far better than I could, which, truth told, frightened me more than it impressed me; how could I have fallen so far behind in the three months I was catching salamanders in my friend’s backyard creek?

An eco-friendly home doesn’t mean giving up the little luxuries of life. However, a little innovative thinking comes in handy. For example, use rain water, natural laundry soap and local foliage to help protect the planet and preserve her resources. Even an eco-friendly pool is a better alternative for creating a house people and the planet will love for many years to come. 
Global warming is one of the most pressing issues of this century. It occurs naturally. However, as Jacqueline Lerche notes, pollution from human creations like factories has accelerated the process. Factory emissions lead to the production of ozone, carbon dioxide and methane, which when released into the air, enhance the greenhouse effect and produce more global warming. The detriment goes beyond the destruction of the environment, however.
