What you can do: Home Ecology 101

Local agencies such as TVA and Knoxville's Freecycle Network offer great opportunities, if you know to look for them. TVA sends along an energy efficiency kit at your request (log onto kub.org), and Freecycle is all about people looking to give away used goods. Don't forget that small things, like choosing cloth diapers over disposables and using energy-saving laundry detergent, can go far for you and the environment.
