"If you are anticipating the worst while hoping for the best, you will get the worst. The things that happen to you are in direct accordance with the things wherein you place your faith. Believe you are licked and you are." --- Harold Sherman

energy-efficient appliances and light fixtures
building materials with recycled content
water-saving plumbing fixtures
water-efficient landscaping
