A little simple living advice

pam August 5th, 2008

We all are looking to do what we can to help the environment and make the world a better place. I recently heard a piece of information I thought I would pass on. So the question is: Should I drive with my windows down or use the air conditioner? Which is better for the environment? I heard an answer to this question on TV by Brendan Koerner, columnist for Slate.com’s The Green Lantern. Here’s his answer. If you are driving 45 mph or less - use the windows; if you are driving 45 mph or more use the air conditioner because at that point the drag caused by the windows being open is making your car use more gas to move forward. There you have it. One little way to move toward simpler and greener living. I know as 21st century Christians we all need to keep good stewardship of all of our resources including money and energy in mind in our daily lives. ~ Pam Rutter
