How are you celebrating Halloween today?

by watching Frontline's "The Undertaking" online.  I caught the second half last night when it first aired and was mesmerized. 
will also spend some time on the the personal website of Thomas Lynch, whose funeral home "Lynch and Sons" was featured in "The Undertaking".

durr...  I'm such a space cadet, I forgot to mention the one thing we've done this year that should have a pretty significant environmental impact:  we * replaced our water heater with one of these tankless, hot-water-on-demand beauties

Bosch tankless water heater

we didn't exactly it do it by choice - our water heater died and needed replaced anyway.  the tankless costs about double what a regular water heater costs ( ~$600 vs. ~$300) but there is a $300 federal tax rebate, so it comes out about the same.    according to the literature we can expect savings of ~ 15% in water-heating costs (about $100/year),  but the important part is that we won't be wasting energy by keeping water hot while is not being used.

* and to be truthful, where I write "we", please read teh SO, who did all the actual work/lifting/hooking-up.  my share of the work was helping to decide what to buy.

probably the thing I do that has the biggest positive action on the environment is that I don't buy the paper or subscribe to magazines.  I read the paper online and get all my news from teh internet tubes.
