Celebrate Earth Day by saving energy. Earth Day 2013 is April 22. Why not celebrate the day by making a single, earth-friendly change in your home? You’ll most likely save more than energy. You’ll also reduce your energy bill over time.
Perhaps the simplest change you can make is to replace your incandescent light bulbs with energy-efficient compact fluorescent lights (CFLs).
Just because you can no longer buy the same light bulbs you’ve used all of your life doesn’t mean you don’t have a few inefficient extras around the house, either in lamps or waiting to replace the ones that haven’t burned out yet.
Do your energy bill a favor and switch to CFLs anyway— and toss those old bulbs in the trash. The energy you’ll save by using long-lasting CFLs will more than compensate for the few cents each old, incandescent bulb is worth.
If you break a CFL bulb, please don't toss it in the trash— bring it Kiwash Electric instead. CFLs contain trace amounts of mercury and should be disposed of properly and recycled. Simply sweep up the pieces and place them in a plastic bag and seal it. (Be careful not to handle pieces with your bare hands.) Deliver the bag to Kiwash Electric and drop it in the CFL recycling bucket located in the front lobby.
1 (8 lb) boneless ham 2 cups packed brown sugar 1 (12 fluid oz) can or bottle cola-flavored carbonated beverage 1 cup grape juice
1 (20 oz) can sliced pineapple, drained with juice reserved
DIRECTIONS Preheat the oven to 325°F.
Use a knife to score a diagonal pattern onto the ham with the lines about 1 inch apart. Place the ham in a large roasting pan and pat brown sugar over the entire surface. Some will fall into the pan, that's okay.
Bake the ham in the preheated oven until the sugar is melting off of it, about 30 minutes. Remove the ham from the oven and pour the cola, grape juice and juice from the pineapple into the pan. Baste the ham with the mixture and return it to the oven.
Continue to bake in the preheated oven, basting every 20 minutes, for about 2 hours. Cut the pineapple rings in half. Remove the ham from the oven and float the pineapple rings in the drippings. Allow the ham to rest for about 10 minutes, then slice and serve with the pineapple and sauce.
Yield: 1 (8 lb) ham.
STAY AWAY from power lines
clear of overhead power lines. W
Contact with a live wire can damage your equipment. If you’re touching that equipment when it makes that content, it can seriously injure or even kill you.
• If it looks like you or your equipment will come within 15 feet of any power line, make a new plan. Any closer is too close for safety.
• Assume any wire you see is a live electrical line. Do not assume the wire is a telephone or cable line. Call your electric cooperative to make absolutely sure. Do not touch a branch if it is touching a wire. If the wire breaks, assume it is energized and can injure or kill you. Report the
problem to your electric cooperative and keep everyone away from it until help arrives.
• If you’re using a ladder, keep it far enough away from all power lines that it won’t touch one if it falls over. The Consumer Product Safety Commission reports that ladders contacting power lines cause nine percent of electrocutions each year.
• Take the day off if it rains. Climbing ladders and working with big equipment in bad weather is an invitation for you to lose your footing and knock something—or yourself— into a power line.
