What moves you to change, and what new changes moving you?

Happy freaky Friday!

These are the MAMA GREEN POWER tips of the week:

Sara Berger of Richmond, VA is raising chickens. She wants to build a home for 6 pullet hens with recycled or "found" materials. She is blogging about her experiences at citizenmama.blogspot.com.

Robine Bots-Jeffrey's of Central Oregon and her sister, Anna Marie, are investing in worm bins. Robine said the worm bin was her birthday present to herself. Anna Marie, is a worm bin enthusiasts and also proudly sports only using her dryer once a week. She uses the dry heat of her pellet stove to save energy by hanging her clothes dry. Turn on the ceiling fan, and she gets the bonus of humidifing her home.

We chatted about simple tips to conserve like vacuuming the coils under the fridge and making sure the dryer tubes are cleaned out properly.

Get creative with lessening your consumption and have a great weekend!
