Three Doors Down - Unplugged Living
So at the Lifestyles channel, we are doing a round house called Three Doors Down. I take the third blog down from Thrifty Mommy and introduce you to the blogger and their blog. I got lucky and get to start with Unplugged Living , helping you free load off mother nature. Noel does a great job of introducing us to the green lifestyle. He tells all when it comes to the green life. I personally loved the post on how exactly to recycle. There is nothing more frugal than taking care of what we are gifted by Up Above. So go on over and check out the great job Noel is doing and tell him we went you.
I asked Noel a few questions and he was gracious enough to let us in on his thoughts.
TM: How did you come up with the idea for your blog?
Noel: I wanted a blog about solar, wind, and other alternative energy, as well as conservation, recycling and stuff like that. I like solar powered gadgets and am fascinated with the technology behind alternative energy.
TM: Why are you so interested in living a life unplugged?
Noel: I guess it starts when I was still at school. I was so interested in the idea of producing your own power from the sun. It is free and unlimited! And you get to help stop global warming.
TM: Do you have a particular thorn in your side with living off mother earth?
Noel: I watched Al Gore’s “The Inconvenient Truth” and all I can say is that the human race has already done a lot of damage. Weather patterns are getting worse, more rains in some parts and drought in another. Sea levels are continually rising. A lot of people are getting affected. I can’t say that I can change the world but through unplugged living, probably some people might become interested in “green technologies” and help offload mother nature.
TM: Would you say green living is easy for you or hard?
Noel: Green living doesn’t need to be hard. For me, it starts with doing things that are easy. Then, when it becomes a habit, I can get a little bit uncomfortable again. One might start with just changing from ordinary lightbulbs to CFL. Then they could start waste segregation and recycling, then later on they might want to use green technologies such as hybrid cars, electric cars, and then further down the road, one might think about using solar/wind and other renewable energy sources.
Noel, you seem to realize that green living and thrifty living can be one in the same. Thank you for taking the time to talk with us. Hope you have a great week.
