I was listening to NPR yesterday when I heard about Maryland's move to reduce electricity use by 15 percent over the next few years. The NPR reporter listed a few ways to conserve electricity, which I'm already doing. But there were a few more suggestions that don't seem realistic, such as unplugging the TV when you aren't watching it...like I'm going to crawl around on my hands and knees behind furniture and fight my way through dust bunnies to remind myself what a crappy housekeeper I am every time I want to watch Weeds.
