If you want to take composting and water conservation to a whole new level you can invest in a composting toilet - they are definately now what they used to be.  They are available in a variety of sizes, from small units for your boat or RV to larger units that will accommodate a family of five in their home.  In some urban areas rebates on sewage charges are available, while in rural areas they can help to greatly reduce your septic system size or extend the life cycle of a poorly performing system.  These toilets will completely convert the solid waste into high quality compost that can be used around non-edible plants, and they operate odorlessly and chemical free.  Water Conservation

If you happen to live in a “good wind area” and have enough property, a wind turbine could be a great option for you to generate your own electricity.  These home sized systems are becoming more and more popular, even though they can be very pricy.  These clean energy systems are fairly basic: the wind spins a propeller that is attached to a generator, which produces electricity.  At present, this is the most widely developed type of alternative energy.  Care must be taken to avoid improper placement which can endanger birds, or cause your turbine to under perform (not enough wind).  Some also argue that wind turbines are ugly and ruin our natural vistas.  However, this can also be said of the high powered transmission lines that cut across our landscape.  Alternative Energy
