typingmonkey I suppose the BreezeDry is good if you're in a hurry(?), but you can save all your dryer energy by using a clothesline. Hee. Interested in trying a solar charger though.

scarbowcow In the Areaware Plumen bulbs picture, the second bulb from the left looks like it's sitting in the lotus position. :)

scarbowcow I thoroughly investigated the BreezeDry site and thought it an interesting concept, but... How do you dry large things like bed sheets or table-cloths, or bath-towels or area rugs in it? Doesn't seem to be space for it. What about kids getting inside and closing the doors - can they get out? Can you use the outdoor air option if you avoid line-drying because of allergies? Will it filter out the allergens? Looks to me like it needs a bit more work before I'd buy one. Wait til it's been on the market for ten years and real users have found the disadvantages and they've been addressed - then buy. It'll be cheaper, and there will be other manufacturers -- if the product is as good as it looks in the advertising videos.

aeykelbo The power bar with the masterplug is a very elegant solution... I'm going to pick one up!

suzig09 The book rest lamp makes me cringe. I was always told not to leave books like that, it destroys the spine. Just couldn't do that, even to a book that has already been "well-loved!"

c2blum CAUTION: some of the above featured items use more energy in their construction, packaging and distribution than they will ever save in their lifetime. Green by all means, but definitely not a fan of greenwashing...

Melissa Berry All these cost saving measures are expensive!

lkillootr I hate the fact that "green" is associated with expensive. It is stupid to buy these products when you can be green in other, less costly ways. Most green products are for hollywierd who have plenty of money to waste.

calikym I installed the nest during my lunch hour. Not only was it easy to install for ME, it has been so easy to "program". There is no programming since it has sensors and remembers how you set it each day. There is no programming required, just 1 dial knob! Best $$ spent yet on my remodel.

mugsy1703 Agnes Hanging Candalabra ... $5000 ... REALLY? How can that cost EVER be justified? Is it made from 24 Karat gold?

cstasz British houses have drying closets. Why do we depend on appliances. One problem with clothes lines is some developments ban them. We were careful to buy our latest house in an area without such limitations. Over 55 places often have these so you have to work to undo them.

joanhall I just have an indoor clothes rack from amazon for about $35 to dry my clothes. Works perfectly and costs nothing. I even stick out on the deck in summer.
