We’re half way through January, and quickly progressing into the New Year! Are you sticking with your New Years resolution?

Then like many other Americans, I start that groggy journey to the Coffee maker, slumping however many spoonfuls of grounds I see fit at that point in time. Sure, the Coffee is a great way to wake you up and get you going, but what additional options are there? One of the greatest jump-starters is, and has always been right above your head!

Going Green; Can it lower your energy bill?

One of the things that I’ve been keeping a very close eye on recently has been the “Going Green” craze that’s sweeping the United States over the past years.
