Sure.  We all know we should be making changes around the house to reduce our impact on the planet.  But for us un-handy types, the prospect of installing a low-flow showerhead or figuring out how to insulate the water heater is daunting!  The prospect of trying to figure out a complicated set of instructions can make even the most dedicated environmentalist procrastinate!

     So I was pleased when I found the Sierra Club’s ‘we can do it’ videos.  With an investment of less than five minutes, you can  watch as the Sierra Club’s Owen Bailey SHOWS you what to do.  His no-frills explanation, combined with his upbeat, encouraging manner, will give you the confidence you need to actually make a change in your home, a change that will be a plus both for the planet and your pocketbook.

     There are four ‘we can do it’ videos.  They include:

**How to install a programmable thermostat that will save energy and money.

**How to wrap your water heater in an insulating blanket that will save energy, while lowering your heating bill.

**How to install a low-flow showerhead, which can save the typical household 8,000 gallons of water a year.

**How to get started with composting.

     So click on http://www.sierraclub.org/wecandoit/videos/ .  Choose the eco-action you feel most ready to take, and spend a few minutes watching the video.  Then you’ll have the know-how to make a changthat you can feel very good about.–April Moore
